Nothing leaves this page until you decide to act on the result.
Not another GoFundMe. A Fund Page built for recurring monthly support from the people who already believe in you.
Club mates, mentors, family friends, local supporters. People who already know your name — and want to invest $50/month in your sport.
A $50/month backer gives $600/year. Ten of them gives $6,000/year — every season you compete. One GoFundMe push can't do that.
No credit card to start. Stripe-powered payouts go straight to your bank. We take 5% to keep the lights on — that's it.
