Booster Club Spotlight: Ganado group sparks Indian pride

The town of Ganado, TX has plenty of pride, and the booster club is no different. The booster club’s president, Patty Ramsey, states “Ganado is all heart. These are some of the most well-rounded kids I’ve ever been around.” In her first year as president, her main focus is to keep the community informed and spirits high. The Ganado booster club has found several creative ways to raise money for the program. In addition to t-shirt sales and concessions, old jerseys from years past are sold to Ganado alumni. Ramsey says “They’re always a big seller. Past Ganado Indians come back and look for their number.” Unfortunately, the booster club’s biggest fundraiser, the Fall Kickoff, was cancelled due to Hurricane Harvey. However, the Ganado community’s resolve will make it past any obstacle. “It’s felt like I’ve lived here my entire life. Ganado is always there for us. It’s always family.” The booster club is there for all Ganado Indians, not just football. Ramsey states “Ganado Indians a tribe. When one falls, we all fall.” The boosters bought new uniforms for the volleyball team last year, and have also set up a scholarship fund for the student athletes at Ganado High. The support the booster club gives Ganado goes far beyond monetary help. Ramsey says “We try to do more than raise money. We wear silly shirts for our kids, we write on their car windows. We want the team to know we have their backs at all times. Every game, every play, every tear, every scream.” In addition, the team moms bring Gatorade and frozen grapes during two-a-days in the scorching Texas summertime. That support is shown by the entire Ganado community. “We have a small town of 2,000 and on Friday night you bet those 2,000 are in the stands.”
