MPC Eagle Backers is the athletic booster organization for all Mount Paran Christian teams. Designed to support the Athletic Department and coaching staffs and to help increase our student-athlete participation, parental involvement is key. Our parent volunteers contribute in numerous ways like assisting with fundraising efforts (annual golf tournament, producing and selling of athletic programs, corporate sponsorships), working concessions, and promoting the overall athletic program. Since the school's athletic budget is a small portion of the overall school budget, fundraising efforts by MPC Eagle Backers helps to assist with the needs of the athletic department.
While not a substitute to the Annual Fund, the highest priority for giving at MPCS, Eagle Backers are an important part of the overall athletic program. Open to anyone with an interest in MPC athletics, membership in Eagle Backers is vital to helping provide our teams with the competitive advantage needed to be successful.
