Become a part of the team behind the team
Since 2005, the Independence Eagles Touchdown Club (TDC) has been the driving force behind our football program—providing the resources, support, and spirit that empower our athletes to rise on and off the field.
We’re more than volunteers—we’re a legacy of parents, partners, and fans who believe in showing up, pouring in, and building something bigger than the game. From essential safety gear and team meals to leadership development and championship-level experiences, we make sure our players have what they need to thrive.
Because when this community rallies together, we don’t just support a season—we shape futures.
Yup. That's right. It costs the Touchdown Club between $120,000–$130,000 each year to fund the Independence High School football program—and that’s just to cover the essentials.
From helmets and nutrition to field equipment and coach support, every dollar raised through the TDC goes directly toward building a program that’s safe, competitive, and impactful for every player.

💛 This Fundraising Freedom donation is exclusive to TDC members, can be broken up into payment plans via Paypal's built-in options AND is coach-approved!

What comes next?
First of all—thank you! Your TDC membership makes a real impact and is the foundation of our program's success.
But as you've seen, it takes a village-sized effort to fully fund the season. That’s why every player also participates in team fundraising throughout the year.
We’d love to think everyone’s thrilled about calendars and donation asks, we know many families would rather contribute without the fundraising hustle.
So for the first time ever, we're offering a simple, optional way to do just that...
truth is: more than half of tdc revenue comes from memberships and fundraising
