About BEnson Techboosters
The Benson TechBoosters is an inclusive community of parents, alumni and friends supporting Benson Polytechnic High School students, faculty and staff, including a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to fundraising for Benson Tech Athletics.
Tech Pride Points (TPP) are the "currency" of the Benson TechBoosters. Earn TPP for your favorite athletic team by volunteering or attending meetings.
Funds from Concessions and Gear sales and other efforts are awarded to teams at the end of each season based on TPP.
Funds from spring fundraiser "Ready, Set, Go Tech!" are distributed proportional to student participation per team.

About Benson Tech Athletics
Benson Tech has over 400 athletes competing on 35 teams in 21 sports registered through the Oregon School Athletics Association. According to PPS annual report 40% of these student athletes are receiving some type of scholarship to enable participation. To make that possible we need the support of you, our neighborhood and school community. Become a Benson Tech booster today!
According to the National Athletic Trainers Association, student athletes manifest stronger peer relationships, better attachment with adults, higher self-esteem, a closer sense of family, and participate more in volunteerism. They are less likely to engage in high-risk behavior. They have a greater sense of initiative, persistence and personal responsibility.
The Center for Disease Control conducts a survey every two years that studies 25 risky behaviors of high school students has concluded that participation in high school sport reduces the risk of students using drugs, alcohol, or tobacco, and their likelihood of carrying a weapon. The survey also concluded that participation in high school sports significantly reduces the risk of suicidal behaviors.
