Fallbrook Pop Warner and Fallbrook Youth Rugby hold fundraising events

FALLBROOK – Two local youth sports leagues held separate fundraising events at the Jersey Mike's in Fallbrook. Fallbrook Pop Warner held their fundraiser Wednesday, Nov. 18, bringing in $501 in donations. Fallbrook Youth Rugby held their fundraiser Tuesday, Feb. 23, bringing in $400 in donations.

Jersey Mike's offered any sub on the menu for free in exchange for a $4 donation to the respective youth sports teams. Even with COVID-19 restrictions and safety protocols, the youth leagues were able to bring in a steady stream of supporters.

"This money is needed for the Fallbrook Pop Warner league because FPW still had outgoing expenses this past COVID year even though we were unable to have a season this year," Natalie Peet, FPW cheer director, said.

FPW also gave away door prizes to families who wore FPW spirit wear from current or past seasons.

For the Fallbrook Youth Rugby event, board members sat outside to discuss the possibility of their upcoming season. "FYR had to skip their winter season, so we are hoping to have some kind of conditioning to get the kids ready for Summer 7s, which will start in May sometime," Allen Day, FYR league president, said.

Jersey Mike's staff had fun with the event, encouraging patrons to donate to help the leagues out.

"100% of money donated goes to the youth leagues, so these events with Jersey Mike's are a great fundraiser for both leagues," Laura Cherevchenko, outgoing fundraising chair for FPW and public relations representative for FYR, said.

Jersey Mike's co-owner Drew Appel said, "We decided that when we do these fundraisers with local leagues and schools, we wanted it to really benefit the organization so we donate all the product for that night and give all donations to the leagues. It is just up to them to promote the event and we do the rest."
