Fundraising

Texas Lightning offers its' members the opportunity to offset Club dues by working at the Ballpark in Arlington.

Earnings will be posted directly to the player’s account, by the CPA, once Texas Lightning receives the deposit from the Ballpark. It can take up to 45 days before we receive the deposit.
If a parent who is receiving any portion of Financial Assistance (Scholarship) for their child, earns more than the amount he/she is responsible for, then that overage will remain with Texas Lightning.
If the player leaves the Club at the end of the soccer year and requests a check for the overage, no check will be issued.
If a parent (or player) earns more that is needed for the soccer year and all dues are paid for the year, and the child is not receiving Financial Assistance, a check request for a reimbursement for Texas Lightning Soccer Club related expenses can be submitted at
the end of the soccer year. Receipts for expenses must be dated from throughout the year, not the future. No checks from the Fundraising earnings will be processed to other entities.
If a parent (or player) works at the Ballpark and wants to use the earnings to be reimbursed for payment of the Texas Lightning Soccer Club Uniform, Texas Lightning tournament travel expenses, Texas Lightning Camp, a check request can be made after all dues are paid for the year.
