The Sactown Raider Booster Club is a member of the Steering Committee and actively participates in Steering Committee events (see the list below). The purpose of the Steering Committee (excerpted from the Steering Committee Guidelines) is to:

1)    Be a federation of all officially recognized Raider Booster/Fan Clubs working together to support each other and the Oakland Raiders;

2) Provide guidance to those wishing to form new clubs;

3) Establish camaraderie, friendship and cooperation among officially recognized Booster Clubs;

4) Magnify the support for the Raider team;

5) Serve as a centralized communication Committee-Clubs to Committee, Committee to Raiders, Raiders to Committee and Clubs.

The Steering Committee does not supersede or interfere with the purpose and goals of the individual clubs or their independent charters and leaders.

Membership
Steering Committee membership currently consists of 23 paid Steering Committee Clubs.  There are 47 officially recognized Oakland Raider Booster Clubs internationally,  including one in England!  Steering Committee membership fees are $150 per year per club.

  1. Are you guys doing a bus for the Charger game? How about a train ride? I’m visiting for the Holidays and would love to cheer on a possible Raider playoff berth with fellow fans.
