About Us
WHO WE ARE
Dunbar Athletic Boosters is a non-profit (501-C3) organization that is committed to supporting the athletic programs of Kanawha Valley and surrounding areas. DAB provides financial support through monies raised by volunteers to encourage excellence in our athletic programs. DAB helps to purchase supplies, equipment, and make capital improvements beyond what the school athletic budgets provides. Joining the Booster Club and volunteering your time is great ways to promote students-athletes & school spirit in and among the community in which we live.

Who We Support In The Community
Dunbar Athletic Boosters, Incorporated supports community youth activities, schools, school sports programs, school academics, youth bowling, little league baseball, youth football/cheer, little League basketball, local travel sports teams and cheer gyms. The Athletic Booster budget year runs January 1, 2024 – December 31, 2024 and we anticipate that our projected revenues will cover the amounts designated to our recipients. In the event these projections are not met, budget adjustments will be made accordingly.
