Renting cars and houses are a huge expense for any tournament. Please help us get our whole fam safely to Nationals!

Flying to tournaments can be a large financial barrier to playing competitive ultimate. This year we have committed to giving significant financial aid for flights. Contributing to this fund would help support the financial aid that we provide towards players flights.

I am so grateful that I stumbled upon frisbee and this team freshman year. Element has given us a way to compete as athletes at the highest level while also forming meaningful relationships that last a lifetime. It has been a privilege to be able to play safely again after the past year and a half, something I will cherish forever! Thank you for your support and helping us on our road to Nationals!

When I first got to tryouts, I thought "wow look at this team" having no idea I’d make it. Fast forward 2 months and I love this team, the girls, and the spirit and cannot wait to see what we achieve. Element has become a second family and I hope you will support us on our road to nationals just like we support each other!!

When I joined Element this past fall, I immediately recognized the passion and commitment every single Mint has for this team. Playing on Element has not only developed my skills, but also has elevated my love for the game of ultimate frisbee. I am incredibly grateful to have teammates who inspire me to push myself every practice, track workout, and game to be a better ultimate player. I believe that the work that we have and will continue to put in this season will let us succeed at Nationals. I hope you would consider supporting our journey to LA!

Frisbee is something that means a lot to me and so many of my closest friends. It would light up my life to share the joy I feel while on the field with all of you :)

Element by far is the best Ultimate Frisbee team I have played with. Getting the chance to play another month with this team is an honor. But we need your help. With your donation, you can help us get the opportunity to compete at NATIONALS.

Each year I've played on Element has brought its unique challenges and joys but nothing was harder than having our season cut short in 2020. I am so glad to be back on the field with this team and so proud of us for all the work we've put in to qualify for nationals this winter. We've managed to come back to this sport we love safely and are doing everything we can in these next 6 weeks to be prepared to play our best at nationals. That includes this fundraiser to make sure we can all compete at nationals without finances limiting anyone's ability to play. Thank you for helping us achieve this goal and for your continued support of this amazing team! We are so excited to play in sunny California in December.

This is my first year playing on Element and my only regret is not coming out any sooner. In such a short time, these amazing women have become like a family to me. These women are such motivated, talented individuals who never fail to put a smile on my face :,) I’m so excited to see what comes next and much love + appreciation for all of your support!! <33

Four-hundred twenty-five days and three and a half hours since the last time I stepped on a field to play ultimate, I arrived at the IMA on a warm evening in May for the first Element practice of the season. Having graduated in 2020, I spent over a year without a team and largely without ultimate, spending my days looking at the discs I have hung up on my wall and wondering if I would ever get a chance to play again. When we began warmups and the first drills, it was like taking a breath of fresh air. Over the course of our season, the genuine care the teammates hold for each other, the effort put in at practice, and the commitment of the coaches has created a space where I am excited each and every day to head out into the rainy, dark night for practice; the long wait to get back to paying has been worth it by far. We thank any contributions which help us showcase the work and love that has been invested into this season at Nationals!

Coming into UW as a Freshman, I was excited but nervous to see how’d I fit into this big school with so many people. Luckily, I made the best decision since and decided to tryout for the Ultimate Frisbee team a couple months ago. Here, I found my family at college with Element. I never feel lonely anymore and I feel so lucky to see all my friends at practice after a long, exhausting day of school. From singing Disney songs to dance circles, I’ve never been more excited to be a part of something so special. I can’t wait to compete with these talented girls and I hope you consider supporting us on our exciting journey to Nationals!

Element has given me a community when I really needed one and has anchored my mental health throughout the ups and downs of graduate school. The team has smashed the ceiling for what I believe I can do as a frisbee player, and has convinced me to believe in myself as an athlete. They're also funny, kind, fiery, and incredibly talented. I've seen this team weather leadership changes, the pandemic, and general uncertainty, and I can't think of a group more deserving of the chance for a National title. I hope you'll consider helping us get there.

I love this team so much. There is something special about being able to pick up from where we left off a year and a half ago without missing a beat. We may be teammates on the field but this team is family through thick and thin. Thank you so much for your support on our road to Nationals!

I guess I like them more than sleep and that says a lot.

From the start, I knew that this team has the most dedicated, talented, and supportive group of athletes I have ever seen. No matter what I know these women will have each other’s backs both on and off the field, and that is part of what make us so special. Every single day we push each other to get stronger and be better for each other. I am so excited continue to grow and play as long as possible together. Thank you for your continued support and help in making the extension of our season into Nationals possible for every player <3

I'll admit that around 8 pm on a weekday night I'm typically sitting in my car, staring at the POURING rain in the parking lot by our practice fields, and questioning why I signed myself up to run around in the freezing cold winds. The answer is simple: it's the people. The connection I've built with individuals on the team is the reason I want to come back year after year. We are a team of coaches and players who care for each other on and off the field and share the same love for ultimate. We are also a team who grinds through the season together while dancing and singing at 110%. Most importantly, our team extends to friends and families who are supporting us throughout our journey to nationals. Huge thank you and appreciation to you for making this possible!

This team is an extremely special group of people and words can hardly express how much I love each and every one of them. Every single person has played a part in building this team full of love and drive. We have put in so much energy and effort to bring us to this point in our season (through pandemic and all) and the work is paying off. Please consider supporting our team and our journey to nationals! We will not disappoint :)

I love them. All my best friends are on this team. No words can honestly encapsulate how much love I have for Element, so that's all I have to say. Support us and I promise you I'll give you a hug when I read who donated, even though I hate hugs :)

For me, Element is a community, stress-reliever, and a character building opportunity all in one. I can rely on my teammates on and off the field and that is something not all college students get. Joining this team has made me regain my competitive nature and desire to become a better athlete, and I would love to have your support in competing on the national stage! <3
