St. Vrain FC Scholarship Program
St. Vrain FC Members,
These past few years have been overwhelmingly positive for the local soccer community. St. Vrain FC has experienced fantastic growth in player numbers, and the positive nature of Longmont soccer has never been stronger. However, with explosive growth comes a number of growing pains.
In an effort to plan for the growth, we have increased our scholarship fund ten-fold since 2008. We surpassed our scholarship budget a month ago, and the Board of Directors immediately agreed to add $4,000 to the scholarship fund. Unfortunately, we have recently surpassed that mark, and there are still many families in our community in need. Our estimate for the outstanding need is $6000 this fall. We feel that by raising that amount of money, every child will have the opportunity to play the beautiful game.
We are calling on our members that are in a position financially to make a donation to the scholarship fund. If you would consider a donation of $100, it would allow up to three players a chance to play soccer that they otherwise would not have been able to afford. Donations of any size are welcome. To donate, you please click here.
In the coming years we plan to significantly increase our fundraising for the scholarship program. Not only will we budget more money for the fund, but we plan on building corporate partnerships to help sponsor the scholarship program. In addition to that, we plan on holding a number of fundraising events on our own, including: golf outings, sponsored skills and soccer juggling events, and eventually hosting our own soccer tournament.
Our goal is to give an opportunity for every child that wishes to play soccer a place to do so – regardless of his or her financial situation. The last thing we want to do is have to tell a child they can’t play soccer because their parents can’t afford it.
