Cal Women's Club Lacrosse | Crowdfunding Fall 2026

About Us: Cal Women's Club Lacrosse

Cal Women's Club Lacrosse is a student-run organization at the University of California, Berkeley, competing in two of the nation's most competitive leagues: the Western Women's Lacrosse League (WWLL) and the Women's Collegiate Lacrosse Associates (WCLA). Since our founding in 2008, we have been dedicated to advancing women's lacrosse at UC Berkeley, fostering leadership, teamwork, and sportsmanship in a fun, competitive environment.

In just our second year, we won both the WWLL Division II and WDIA Division II Championships. Since moving up to Division I, we've continued to build on our success, consistently ranking among the top teams. This past season, we finished 5th in the WWLL Premier Division, landing just outside the national top 20, a testament to our continued growth and competitive drive.

Our team is not only united by a passion for lacrosse but also enriched by the diverse academic and personal pursuits of our players. Our student-athletes study a range of subjects, including Data Science, Engineering, Nutritional Science, and Media Studies, while being active members of various campus organizations.

Now in our second year as a Registered Student Organization (RSO), we self fund for everything , including rental cars, tournament fees, gear, field space, trainers, and coaching salaries.

Funding and Support

As a fully student-run team, we receive no financial assistance from UC Berkeley or Sports Clubs. Now in our second year as a Registered Student Organization, all expenses, including rental cars, tournament fees, gear, and coaching salaries, are still paid out of pocket by our players and through fundraising efforts. As our team grows and our competition level rises, so do our financial needs. The generosity of donors plays a crucial role in sustaining our program, allowing us to compete with top teams across the country and gain national recognition.

All donations are tax-deductible and go directly toward our operating costs. Your support, no matter the amount, makes a huge difference in helping us pursue our goals and maintain the high level of competition we've achieved this season. Every donation, whether large or small, is valuable. Even if we don't meet our fundraising goal, your contribution will still help cover essential expenses like travel, tournament fees, and equipment. If we exceed our goal, the extra funds will enhance our program. Every dollar raised brings us closer to ensuring our team can thrive and compete at the highest level.

We believe everyone, regardless of financial background, should have the opportunity to join our lacrosse team.
