FUNDRAISING

$180,000

NEED

Our goal at the OAL is to ensure that Oakland youth have a wholistic student-athlete experience, including having adequate equipment, multiple coaches’ stipends, academic supports, officials, uniforms, transportation, Athletic Assistant & Athletic Trainers for all sites. Currently, the cost to operate a fully functioning OAL Middle School Athletic Program is approximately $180,000. OUSD provides a minimal budget to cover Coaches Stipends, Facility Cost & Referees. One of the OAL Taskforce’s responsibilities is to bridge the gap between OUSD funds and what is needed to take our league to the next level by raising the other additional funds.
