Is it possible to deposit a check made out to a club into a personal account the club does not have an EIN but has sponsors donating who write it to the club name for charitable tax reasons?

Most banks will require the account to be titled like the check is titled for a deposit involving a business. If the club has no EIN of its own the proprietor would need to secure a DBA - how to register one varies by state - and use the DBA paperwork to start a business checking account with that title in order to deposit the check.

When the owner issues a check to pay their bill known as a draw what happens?

As a business owner, you may be paid a salary, or you might take a draw as an owner. How you receive money from the business depends on the type of business. If you are an owner of a sole proprietor business, you can take a draw from the business for personal expenses. This draw is not a deductible business expense; it's just money you take from profits (assuming there are profits!) to pay personal bills. When you take a draw, you should write a check to yourself from the business checking account and deposit it in your personal checking account.
