Has anyone set up an alumni association at their high school?
Anyone willing to share what they are doing?
Thanks-
JVD

No, but we have something similar with my college rugby team.
It's basically a way to keep people in contact (mostly facebook), support the current team through any fundraising they're currently doing, and we do a yearly merch sale within our group that is used as our own fundraiser for the current team. We've also had multiple alumni help coach at various points where they needed an assistant as well as when the last head coach stepped down.
We also do a yearly alumni match where the alumni play against the current team, usually their last match of the spring season. This has been going on for close to ten years and the women's team does the same thing, so it pulls a decent crowd.
If you have contact with enough alumni that are out of college it could be a decent way to raise some extra football-specific funds. Could do a flag football game or something and turn it into a "community day" event or something.
