Is there fund raising to support teams?
Yes, the Pride organization encourages teams to actively raise funds to support its teams. The organization, through its membership with the National AAU, is recognized as a tax exempt, 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Fund-raising can come in many forms, from the soliciting of corporate sponsorships to carwashes to candy sales to support from family and friends, spaghetti dinners, to bucket brigades. Teams may also sponsor tournaments to raise operating funds. Key to fund-raising is the parents getting involved to support the team, coach and their sons or daughters.
