Low funds raised for volunteers

A three week long fundraiser is underway at the Yuba-Sutter youth soccer games, to raise mooney for new refferee uniforms.
Now in its second week of play, the youth leauge has been collecting funds as is cutomary each year.Parents and spectator will be charged $2 parking admission or donations of higer amount.

The games take place at the Feather River River Bottoms Fields, and at various schools in the Marysville, Yuba City, and Olivehurst.

Organizer where disapointed after the first game of the season showed a low parent turn out. The second game promised to be worse , only one of two lots had filled and there was nothing to indicate more cars would come.

High temperatures are preventing spectators from coming out to the games. This in turn affects the progress of the fundraising.

The proceeds from parking and admission are used to purchase uniforms for the volunteer referees of the league, and to pay for league cost .

Many parents blame the low turn out on the heat.
Parent, Cristina Arana, hopes that the last week of the fundraiser will benefit from a larger turnout. “The fundraiser is important to the league…and the low attendance and heat are negatively effecting the kids' desire to play in the league.”
