The Hinsdale South Parent Athletic Club will kick off the Hornets' fall sports season with a community celebration on Friday, August 14, starting at 5 p.m.

The event gives families a chance to purchase season memberships, grab food, and enter a raffle for prizes before the school's athletic programs begin competition later in the month. The PAC announced the event on its X account on Friday, July 24, describing it as a celebration of the fall season and a chance to support the Hornets and connect with the broader school community.

Individual sport programs are also hosting their own kickoff sessions the same evening. The girls tennis program will hold a separate kickoff event on August 14, according to the PAC's account on X.

The gathering marks the unofficial start of fall athletics at Hinsdale South. Season memberships, available for purchase at the event, support the PAC's work across all Hornet sports programs throughout the year.

Beyond game-day support, the PAC runs a program that pairs seventh and eighth graders with Hinsdale South sports teams to help at games and matches. The effort builds connections between middle schoolers and the high school athletic community before they arrive on campus.

Details are still coming. No specific venue on the Hinsdale South campus has been announced, and season membership pricing and raffle prize information have not been released. Families can follow the PAC on X at @HSHSAthlClub for updates as August 14 approaches.
