Where the money goes
100 percent of donations go to field rentals and the insurance required to rent them. Bellingham Pickup Soccer pays every rental up front and is reimbursed from donations. Bellingham Pickup Soccer keeps the donation sheet, every dollar in and out since October 2024, with receipts. Since then the group has given $17,804.45 and spent $18,005.36 on fields and insurance. What is left is the number at the top of the page.
What a Wednesday costs
- Field, two hours (Sehome, Kulshan or Bellingham HS)$80 an hour
- Lights, two hours$45 an hour
- A night with lights, October through spring$250
- A summer night without lights (Kulshan on 9/2 was $182.50)$160 to $182.50
- Insurance, The Event Helperabout $62 a month
A Wednesday with lights is $250. When the regulars chip in, the night is paid, and the rest goes to insurance and the winter, when every single week needs lights.
Right now the fund is $200.91 behind. The season's costs and how far we are from covering this week are on the scoreboard below.

Keep it funded
Ways to help keep Wednesdays running. Tap one to read it.
Cover a night
$250 pays for a whole Wednesday for everyone who shows up. Your name, or your business, goes on this site and on the Facebook post that week. Sweet As Waffles LLC gave $119 once and it covered most of a night. Reach out below.
The winter lights fund
October through March is the expensive stretch, $250 every single week under the lights. Anything given in September keeps those nights paid for before it gets dark.
A weekly reminder
Tuesday night, one email with this week's field and the donate link. People forget, that is the whole problem. Sign up for the Tuesday email.
Tournament weekend entry fees
The group ran a pickup tournament in May 2026 with team signups and free agents. A small entry fee per team on the next one goes straight into the winter fund.
Pinnie sponsors
We play in pink and yellow pinnies every week. A business name on the next set is cheap advertising in front of the same 30 players, all season. Reach out below.
Reminders
An email on Tuesday night with this week's field, a reminder that warm up is 6:45 and play is 7 to 9, and the donate link.
One email a week, nothing else, and you can unsubscribe any time.
