HOW CAN I UTILIZE FUNDS RAISED THROUGH THE FUNDRAISING EFFORTS?

The funds accumulated through East County All Star Fundraising can be applied to support various youth extracurricular and school activities for the children enrolled in your membership. Some examples of activities that our current members engage in are cheer, dance, equestrian pursuits, baseball, softball, football, basketball, soccer, theatre, glee, Senior or 8th grade trips, SAT/ACT preparation, Future Farmers of America, 4H, volleyball, swimming, diving, and martial arts classes.

​​

Please note that this list is not all inclusive and that other youth extracurricular activities are included. If you have questions about a particular activity please reach out to our membership coordinator. ​​

​

WHAT IS THE MINIMUM AGE TO PARTICIPATE IN FUNDRAISING VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES?

​​

The primary account member should be 18 years or older. The specific age requirements for each individual fundraiser vary based on the nature of the event. For larger concessions contracts, such as those with Levi's Stadium and Toyota Pavilion at Concord, participants must be at least 18 years old.​​

​​

​

ARE THERE INCOME LIMITATIONS FOR ENROLLMENT?

​

No, East County Allstar Fundraising membership is inclusive and welcomes all families, irrespective of income levels. Recognizing that the expenses associated with extracurricular activities can pose challenges even for higher-income households, we refrain from imposing any income restrictions. Our commitment is to assist all families in their fundraising endeavors.

​​

​​

ARE THERE MEMBERSHIP FEES?

​

The primary account holder incurs an annual membership fee of $100, with an additional $50 fee for each extra member. These fees play a crucial role in supporting insurance and necessary administrative expenses for the operation of our 501c non-profit organization. It's vital to emphasize that, operating solely on volunteer efforts, every dollar raised directly advances our mission, ensuring that membership fees cover all administrative costs.​

HOW DO I USE FUNDS FROM MY FUNDRAISING EFFORTS?

 

You have two options for utilizing funds from your fundraising efforts:

1. Reimbursement to the Member:  Submit the invoice and proof of payment for an approved activity, and upon receipt, the transaction will be reimbursed up to the amount in your account.

2. Direct Payment to the Activity Provider:  Provide the website for payments, along with the username, password, and a statement specifying the amount you wish to be paid. Send this information via email to the treasurer, who will log into your account and make a direct payment to the vendor. Please note that we cannot register your child for an activity. If the payment is due at registration, you will need to pay and then request reimbursement.

 

**Please note that any travel costs will be done as a REIMBURSEMENT only and will not be done until the travel is completed.

Payments are typically processed bi-monthly, although they may be expedited. The treasurer will announce the payment schedule quarterly, and it is subject to change.

IF I CHOOSE NOT TO RENEW MY MEMBERSHIP, WILL I RECEIVE THE REMAINING FUNDS?

 

No, the funds remaining in your account will only be disbursed for valid, approved expenses. In the event that you opt not to renew your membership and there are remaining funds in your account, these funds will be redirected to our general fund. They will be utilized to support initiatives such as foster child scholarships and other impactful projects aligned with our mission.
