ClevelandHS Boys Ultimate Nationals

**This GoFundMe fundraiser is set up and run by the team Booster Club, made up of coaches and parents of the team.**

On October 18th, for the first time ever, Cleveland High School Boys Ultimate Frisbee won a Seattle public school league playoff game. On the 22nd, CHS won the city championship and went on to place second in all of Washington State. That earned the team a bid to the first ever High School national tournament in Chicago, IL in June, 2017, where we'll face off against the other fifteen top schools in the country. 

The team Booster Club has set up this fundraiser to help cover costs for the national tournament. That kind of trip costs a lot of money that right now, the Cleveland team doesn't have. When we add up flights, rental cars, food, tournament fee, and other miscellaneous expenses, we expect the team and Booster Club to have to pay about $20,000 (twenty players + three coaches/chaperones). For that reason, the Booster Club is asking friends, family, community members, and anyone with the means to help send the Cleveland HS Boys Ultimate Frisbee team to nationals. The Booster Club and the team each have more fundraisers planned (selling concessions at school sports, canvassing local neighborhoods, and any other means possible), but this is the Booster Club's first step.

Over 60 percent of Cleveland students receive free or reduced-price lunch and those and more come from low-income backgrounds. We don't plan on letting money stop our team from competing against the best in the country, but it will be an insurmountable barrier unless we get your help.

Please donate an amount that feels meaningful to you. When you do, know that we are grateful for the moral support that comes from your action and the economic support that will help this dream come true for twenty young men. 

Thank you,

Clay Dewey-Valentine
