Let's build a youth football pitch together in San Diego

We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a youth football pitch - we need $4,100 for materials.

For three years the neighborhood has asked for a youth football pitch. This year a group of 29 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Freedom Primary School, but no funding. We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $4,100. It will serve about 257 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in October and everyone is invited. We're a small team, and every dollar will be spent in the open - I'll post receipts and progress photos. Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered. Where the $4,100 goes: • Safety equipment and signage: $360 • Permits and inspections: $165 • Materials: $3,575 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Avery
