About the NAXC Boosters Association

The North Allegheny Cross Country Booster Association (NAXCBA) is a 501(c)3 registered non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the North Allegheny Cross Country runners and coaches.  We are a group of parents who provide support for our runners by organizing pasta dinners, food tables for invitational meets, and weekly yoga classes. We supplement the Athletics Department by providing equipment and team t-shirts/hoodies for our athletes. We celebrate our runners by hosting a Recognition Night and other team related activities.  To provide these services, the NAXCBA assesses dues and holds fundraisers to support team initiatives.

 

NAXCBA will communicate with you weekly during the season to relay important information regarding meet dates and directions, dates for fundraisers, volunteer opportunities, and events to support our athletes.
