What Your Support Does

Most select softball programs are funded entirely by family dues — which means the only kids who compete are the ones whose families can absorb the full cost. We don't think talent and household income should be the same variable.

Fundraising at Texas Venom has one primary goal: reduce what families pay. Every dollar raised against our season target offsets dues, funds tournament travel, and keeps the org stable so we're here next season and the season after that.

This isn't a general fund. We publish our allocation model at the start of every season and report against it quarterly. You know exactly where your money goes.
