The Pomperaug impaCT club was recognized as a “Gold Sponsor” at the Salvation Army Annual sponsor appreciation event for their efforts.  

Pomperaug ImpaCT is a student-athlete led club aiming to "impact CT" by volunteering and fundraising for the Salvation Army charity organization. The club’s mission statement is to bring both the Pomperaug and neighborhood community closer together through charitable actions as student-athlete leaders.

Since the club’s inception in the 2021-2022 school year, impaCT has raised over $11,000 and collectively volunteered over 400 hours to benefit the Waterbury Salvation Army. This school year, impaCT has officially expanded to include North Haven and Weston High Schools.
