The EYA understands the some families feel that fundraisers are burdensome and would rather simply pay an additional cost than have to put in extra work to fundraise. The reason we hold fundraisers is becuase not all families are in a position where paying an additional cost is alway feasible. Fundraising allows families to help spread the cost of playing sports onto family, friends, and members of the community. It also allows the possibility of raising more the just the bare minimum funds necessary for the current season which allows us to buy extra and better quality equipment and help reduce future registration costs.

Since not all families are the same and some would rather not fundraise, we offer a "buyout option" for all fundraisers. This option is priced at the exact minimum amount per player that the EYA would take away from each fundraiser. We feel this is the best option for all families of every situation without "price gouging" parents and creating high registration costs. 

The EYA is happy to answer any questions or discuss any concerns or issues. The best way to do this would be attending one of our monthly board meetings. You can also email us at officers@eyasports.org.
