There are many ways you can help to support HCS and ZCS athletic programs. Volunteers are always needed: from one-time commitments in the concession stand, to joining a committee, to being a part of the CHAMPS board, there is a way for you to plug in. Your partnership helps CHAMPS provide the necessary facilities and equipment for our athletes to seek and perform at their best.

Summer 2025
Dear Supporters of Holland Christian Athletics,
Thank you for your continued partnership in supporting the student-athletes of Holland Christian and Zeeland Christian Schools. Your involvement makes it possible for us to upgrade facilities, purchase equipment and provide Christ-centered athletic opportunities for students in grades 6-12. Through the Christian pursuit of sport, our students are learning about competing with character, courage and with a commitment to their teammates.
Our athletic fundraising arm, CHAMPS, supports approximately 900 athletes through 24 sports programs. The success of CHAMPS depends on the support of families and businesses in the greater Holland area. We invite you to continue or begin partnering with CHAMPS through one or more of our key initiatives:
- CHAMPS Concessions are a visible and valued part of many athletic events, offering hospitality to our community. Parents of athletes are asked to regularly serve as volunteers, and we are deeply grateful for their time and energy. We are also seeking volunteers from the broader community to help occasionally, even if they don’t currently have a student participating. If you or someone you know is interested, please email Lisa Klamer.
- Available in August, the 2026 CHAMPS Coupon Book features valuable offers from local, regional, and national businesses, including restaurants, retail stores, and recreational companies. Each book also includes a free code for a mobile app providing location-based discounts across the U.S. including in Holland and throughout West Michigan. Each fall athlete/family will take home a book and be asked to purchase at least one Coupon Book to kick off this initiative. (view the sample 2025 book)
*Want to feature your business with a coupon? Email Aaron Verhagen.
*Willing to sell books at your business location? Email Liz Culver.
*Interested in gifting coupon books to your employees or customers? Email Jon Spoelhof.
- Our CHAMPS Donation & Sponsorship Program offers individuals and businesses the opportunity to support athletics in meaningful ways through CHAMPS. These opportunities are promoted in July to simplify our outreach efforts for the year. We invite you to consider becoming part of the “Maroon & White Club” or choose from a variety of sponsorship opportunities today! Full details are available on the 2025-26 CHAMPS form.
We are excited for the 25-26 athletic year and thankful for the ways all programs benefit from CHAMPS. Please pray for our coaches and athletes this summer as we prepare for every athlete’s educational and Christ centered experience. Whether you contribute with a significant sponsorship or utilize your spending habits with a coupon book… or something in between… you play a key role and we appreciate your community partnership with Holland and Zeeland Christian Schools through CHAMPS.

Athletic Director & CHAMPS Board Member
