Our Crowdfunding Groups
Five years ago, a women's club basketball program did not exist at UCLA. In response, in early 2017, a group of girls who shared the same passion and desire to play basketball at a competitive level combined their efforts, and thus the UCLA Women's Club Basketball program was established. Because of their proactivity, and the generous help of donors, UCLA Women's Club Basketball had a successful inaugural season in 2017-18.
The 2021-22 season is just the girls' fifth season together, and they need your help! The program demands several costs: travel, tournament fees, coach and referee compensation, as well as uniforms and other basketball gear. Completely student-run, UCLA Women's Club Basketball works hard to promote a fun and competitive environment for its players; however, we would be so appreciative of any support we receive!
As a young club established in 2017, the UCLA Women's Club Basketball Team lacks many resources, including experience and an extensive alumni base. The initial years of this program are particularly important; we must work to create an excellent foundation so that the future girls of this program can be provided with security. Club basketball demands expenses for many articles, seen in the breakdown above, therefore, running the program with a minimal budget is impossible. Although the club makes efforts to host its own fundraisers on campus and through small businesses, the program's overall costs are still outstanding. With some help, though, the financial burden can be alleviated, allowing these girls to compete and grow as both basketball players and human beings. We hope that you will consider making any dollar amount donation to support our efforts of establishing our presence on campus and achieving our goals in competition against other university club teams.
Every year we participate in the NIRSA Western Regional tournament, the last time having been held at Grand Canyon University in 2020. Because of COVID-19 precautions, the western region could not find a host, therefore we plan on showing our commitment to the sport and competition by attending the regional tournament being held in Dallas, Texas. We would appreciate any support we can get to be able to make this happen. We would be using the funds acquired through your donations to cover base expenses as previously discussed, and any extras will be put towards the transportation costs and tournament fees.
The UCLA Women's Club Basketball Team is extremely appreciative of any donation -- your support goes towards our passion for the game of basketball and being able to compete at a high level while pursuing an esteemed education at the University of California, Los Angeles.
