Everett Youth Sports Foundation Initiative

DJ Lockwood & Keith Macaulay

 

With the rising costs of youth sports and the expansion of the a new Everett team in the USL we wanted to lay the groundwork for the creation of a foundation. This would be set up similarly to Ballard FC and their Bridges United Foundation.


 

Our team prepared and prepped the groundwork for the startup of a foundation. This involved researching best practices from existing successful foundations locally. We even interviewed potential members of an initial board. Our goal was to have everything ready to hit submit once the Everett USL team is confirmed.
