Financial Resources

Donations are a way for family and friends to financially support your club fees. Donations made to the club in the athlete's name will go directly to their fees for the season.

1. Compile a list of emails and contact information for families and friends.
2. Open up this email template and make necessary revisions/edits to personalize the message to the supporters.
3. We recommend copy/pasting the template into a new email for each family member/friend. Connecting individually with supporters is important.
4. For each donation received in the athlete's name, their overall club fees will be reduced.
5. We will provide updates regarding donations to you and your family so that you can send "thank you" messages, and understand how your season fees have been reduced.

If your family wants to donate towards the club fees for another player, use the following link to do so: Donate.

In the "Comments" box, indicate an athlete's name to receive the gift. If you wish to remain anonymous, please indicate that as well.

Sponsorships are an opportunity for businesses to financially support your club fees. Sponsors will designate a gift for a specific athlete, and the gift will go directly to the athlete's fees for the season.

1. Compile a list of companies/businesses that you would like to request a sponsorship from.
2. Type in the athlete's full name into this Sponsorship Letter and then print copies to deliver in person to the business. (Alternatively, it can be emailed as well. Face-to-face may be the best approach for most businesses.)
3. If a business chooses to sponsor an athlete, they will complete the Sponsorship Form. (Parents should support businesses in filling this form out.)
4. All sponsors will be recognized on our website and social media. If a sponsor gives a gift of at least $100, they will be featured in name only on our t-shirts. If a sponsor gives a gift of at least $500, their logo will also be featured. Use the form above to submit artwork. (Businesses can claim the sponsorship as an advertising expense.)
5. Sponsorships are due to Serena/Taylor by 12/31/24.

Scholarships are available for families who could use extra financial support. A dedication to fundraising and a full-season commitment to the club is a requirement for this scholarship.

1. Open the following application: Ascent Scholarship Application.
2. Type or print/handwrite the answers to the questions describing your current financial need (parent) and your current academic/athletic goals (player).
3. Submit to Serena and Taylor via email by the deadline listed in the application.
4. To receive a scholarship, the family must be dedicated to raise at least $250 via sponsorships or other fundraising, as well as commit to completing the full club season with Ascent.
