To Our Valued Community Partners,The cost of playing high school football continues to rise, making it more challenging for families and programs to provide athletes with the resources they need to succeed. At Lakeridge, we are committed to ensuring that every player has access to top-quality equipment, experienced coaching, and a program that fosters both athletic and personal growth.On average, our program spends over $100,000 per season to provide players with the resources they need to compete safely and at the highest level. Your contribution will help ensure every player has the opportunity to grow both on and off the field while competing at the highest level in a safe and supportive environment. We need your support to continue providing these essential resources:Safety-certified helmets, pads, and uniformsStrength and conditioning programs to support injury preventionPre-game meals and nutrition to fuel performanceTraining technology, including HUDL film and analyticsCoaching development to ensure top-level instructionEquipment maintenance and replacementWe appreciate your support in making the 2026 season a success.

Thank you for supporting the Lakeridge High School Football Program! Running a competitive high school football team requires far more than just showing up on game day. While our district provides limited basic support, nearly all other costs from equipment and uniforms to team meals, travel, and film... fall directly on our program.That’s why fundraisers like this are essential.Every dollar you donate goes directly to the program, with no fees taken out, thanks to our partnership with Zeffy. Your gift is 100% tax-deductible.On behalf of our coaching staff, families, and players—thank you for investing in our team. Your support helps us build something special at Lakeridge.
