NON AUTHORIZED SOLICITATION Sports Media Advertising, also known as Sports Media Marketing and Boost Sports, has been falsely claiming to be affiliated or working on behalf of the Lake Hamilton School District to raise funds for our athletic teams and school groups. The Lake Hamilton School District has not partnered with Sports Media Advertising. Sports Media Advertising is not authorized to solicit funds on behalf of the Lake Hamilton School District. The District has made multiple attempts to contact Sports Media Advertising regarding this issue and has learned that the company has an F rating with the Better Business Bureau. To date, Sports Media Advertising has not responded to the Better Business Bureaus' request to address the issues and disputes, nor have they responded to the request of the Lake Hamilton School District to stop soliciting funds in our community.
