Our Mission
The Fund’s mission is to aid financially disadvantaged families who require assistance in caring for their son, daughter, father, brother, mother or sister who have suffered injuries or financial hardship as a direct result of participation in youth football. The family may be devoid of health insurance coverage or may require additional funds to cope with the financial hardship. The Fund will assist those involved in Youth Football, defined as Pop Warner through Prep high school. This includes players, cheerleaders, coaches, officials and friends of youth football.
How You Can Help Youth Football
The San Diego Youth Football Fund appreciates any help you can provide. Your efforts are helping us reach our goals! You can make a tax-deductible contribution online or by mail.
