Wayzata Athletic Boosters began in 1991 to raise funds to save high school and junior high school athletic programs threatened by ISD 284 budget cuts. In response to budget cuts, a group of dedicated parents, administrators and other community leaders founded in Spring, 1992, Wayzata Boosters Foundation, a tax exempt charitable corporation, to raise funds principally in the name of Wayzata Athletic Boosters (WAB).
WAB initially defined its role as providing ISD 284 with short-term support to restore coaches salaries and equipment. Later, it developed it's long-term vision of commitment to organize and coordinate booster club activities, such as promotion of athletics and activities, community building, enhancement of facilities and scholarships to student-athletes.
