ColorBomb is a high-level mixed-gender Ultimate frisbee club team based in Philly. Our mission is to prioritize creating a space for Black and Brown players and we are equally dedicated to the inclusion of queer & trans athletes. By fully reflecting the diversity of our city, we aim to revolutionize what an Ultimate team can look like. ColorBomb stands out as the ONLY mixed club Ultimate team in the country with a founding mission predicated on diversity efforts. Join us in helping ColorBomb create an environment where non-white, queer & trans, and other marginalized individuals can experience joy, safety, and a sense of belonging within this sport. Make a donation today!

In our inaugural season last year, we exceeded expectations in our local section and made a name for ourselves at regionals. Our team gained the support and attention of Philly’s ultimate community and we are lucky to have high-profile members including one semi-pro player and a gold medalist. This year, we're raising the bar even higher and we need your help to do it.

ColorBomb needs your financial support to grow our program and make the 2023 season a success. Players are typically expected to cover their costs for the club season and these accumulate rather quickly. Between club dues, travel and food, jerseys, organizational fees, and equipment, players can expect to spend $250 to $400 per season. Your contribution will help alleviate the financial burden on our players, enabling them to focus on improving their skills, building confidence, and nurturing the growth of this incredible community.

Our collective season expenses are estimated to surpass $10,000. For full transparency, here is a breakdown of ColorBomb’s 2023 season costs:

  • Tournament fees (5 events x $500-600 each = $2,500-3,000 total)
  • Full jersey kits ($80 per person x 42 community members = $3,360 total)
  • Post-Tournament meal (26 players x $20 = $520 per tournament)
  • Travel expenses (~100 miles x $.65/mile federal standard x 6 cars = $390 per tournament)

Supporting ColorBomb is crucial to the growth of Ultimate frisbee as a sport and to fostering an inclusive environment where all individuals feel welcomed. Many Players of Color and gender non-conforming participants often omit themselves from high level club play because these spaces don’t welcome them or because they simply can’t afford it. POC often face greater barriers to participation that stem from broader biases and oppressive systemic forces. By donating today, you can actively help dismantle these barriers and make a meaningful difference.

Thank you so much for your support and we look forward to seeing you this summer.
