Dear Irish,

We’re excited to share that we’ve launched Fighting Irish Nation, a brand-new Football Booster Club at Notre Dame High School—and we need your support to build something truly special. Our new coaching staff and school leadership team has created a lot of momentum. Now it is time to help our boys to SHAKE DOWN THE THUNDER for Notre Dame once again.

Across the country, private schools with successful football programs are seeing increased enrollment, higher academic performance, and stronger school spirit. We believe Notre Dame can be next. The football program is the marketing arm of our school. As you may know, we have a lot of competition in Chattanooga right now, so we must step up as a community. Even those of us not directly involved in the football program are impacted indirectly by its strength (or weakness). It is better for everyone when football is strong. I urge everyone to join the club and contribute at any level you can.

Your involvement and support of our school has already made a difference. Now, we invite you to help us take the next step: investing in a football program that inspires pride, unites our community, and elevates the entire school.

Thank you for your continued belief in Notre Dame’s mission—and in our future champions.

With gratitude,

Brandon Culpepper

President, Fighting Irish Nation
