HELP OUR PLAYERS CLUB COMMUNITY RISE UP!
THE RISE
UP FUND
The Rise Up Fund is Richmond United’s annual campaign to make soccer accessible for all children in our community. Every dollar raised provides financial assistance for players who need it most. Together we can grow the game we love and give every child in Richmond the chance to rise.
THIS YEAR'S GOAL
Together, we're raising $250,000 in the 2026-2027 Season.
of $250,000 Raised
OUR MISSION
When a player steps onto the pitch, they get a chance to run free. Away from screens and towards their friends. Testing their limits and discovering strengths they didn’t know they had.
They learn to belong, to trust teammates and coaches, and to carry both the wins and the losses with pride. And the impact lasts long after the match is over.
These experiences lay the foundation for success in school, in work, and in life. The Rise Up Fund removes the barriers so every child, no matter their background can benefit from the power of this game.
It keeps alive a legacy that has shaped Richmond soccer for over 75 years, and ensures our club continues to change lives for generations to come.
This is our chance to unite. To give what we can. To help our players, our club, and our community.
RISE UP.
