Bluffton High School Athletic Boosters, Ohio

A BIG Thank YOU to all of our local First Responders who help keep our local communities SAFE.

25 years later, the images may have faded, but the courage and sacrifice of that day never will.

We remember the first responders who ran toward the danger, knowing they might not come home. We remember the families who never got to see their loved ones walk through the door again.

And today, we honor every firefighter, police officer, EMT, paramedic, and first responder who continues to answer the call and run toward what others run from.

Thank you for your courage, your sacrifice, and your service.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget.

BLUFFTON, YOU DID IT!! ❤️🖤🤍

We knew our community would show up for our kids, but you guys really showed up! Our recent digital fundraiser was a HUGE success, and we are so excited to say that we reached our goal! 🏴‍☠️

A BIG Pirate-sized THANK YOU to all of our athletes, parents, grandparents, family members, Pirate fans, friends, and community members who donated, shared, encouraged and helped spread the word. It truly takes a community to support our student athletes, and once again, Bluffton proved just how strong ours is.

These fundraisers help provide the extras that make a difference for our kids — and we are so grateful for everyone who continues to invest in them and their experiences.

And of course, a huge thank you to Vertical Raise for partnering with us and helping make this fundraiser such a success!

We are feeling pretty proud (and pretty grateful) to be part of the Bluffton Pirate family. ❤️🖤🤍

Thank you, Bluffton, for ALWAYS showing up for our kids! 🏴‍☠️

We’re excited to launch our new digital fundraiser through Vertical Raise—think of it as Booster Drive 2.0!

We’re asking all Bluffton High School fall athletes to participate by providing 20–25 phone numbers and email addresses of friends and family who may be willing to support Bluffton Athletics. Vertical Raise will securely send a fundraising message on the athlete’s behalf, making it an easy way to reach supporters.

Athletes should come prepared with their list that has been saved in the “notes” section of their phone along with a photo of them playing their favorite Bluffton sport tomorrow night, July 23, at the high school gym:
• HS Boys: 6:00 PM
• HS Girls: 6:30 PM

Every donation helps provide equipment, uniforms, the HUDL subscription, and many other resources that benefit all Bluffton student-athletes throughout the year.

Thank you to our athletes, families, alumni, and community members for continuing to invest in Pirate Athletics. Your support makes a difference, and together we can make this fundraiser a huge success!

Go Pirates! ❤️🤍🏴‍☠️

Just like that, the 2025-26 Bluffton Athletics year is in the books. We want to say a tremendous THANK YOU to the many people who make Bluffton Athletics possible. Thank you to our teachers, coaches, principals, superintendent, Board of Education members, treasurer, secretaries, custodians, buildings and grounds staff, maintenance staff, boosters, photographers, mothers clubs, parent groups, even officials, and everyone else who gives their time and support to our students. Most of all thank you to our kids!!! You represent Bluffton the right way. We are proud of everyone one of our athletes. A simple thank you is woefully inadequate, but we are grateful. Bluffton is a special place because of the people who care so much about kids. You are appreciated.
