Oakland Bears Expense Fund
Donation protected
We are the Oakland Bears U16AA Hockey Team in Oakland, California. Over the last six seasons we have been working towards a goal of playing in California's CAHA Tier II hockey league, the second highest level of hockey in the state.
During that time, many of our players and their families have remained loyal to our organization despite having the talent to move up with another program.
This year, we are proud to field an Oakland Bears team strong enough to compete at the Tier II level.
However, hockey at this level comes with many expenses that several of our players can't afford. Due to the hockey landscape in California, almost all of our league games are in Los Angeles (requiring extensive travel). Although hockey can be an expensive sport, we have been able to help reduce costs for several of our players through scholarships but these unfortunately don't cover travel and equipment costs.
Our season is already underway and the wonderful parents on our team are already giving above and beyond their regular fees, but we still need your help.
Any amount, no matter how small, wiill go directly to covering the cost of tournament fees, transportation, hotel rooms, jerseys and food for our players.
Thank you,
Oakland Bears U16AA Hockey Team
