I’m so happy to see fresh oranges again — on my tree, for free!

So Fallbrookians — it’s time to start eating our own oranges (and helping our neighbors with their excess bounty so the fruit isn’t wasted)! Citrus season has begun again.

Ingold Sports Park does not have funding to continue past January 2021. The nonprofit that operates the park, the Fallbrook Sports Association, has sent out an open letter asking for the community to help.

If you can, here’s their GoFundMe link where you can help out by contributing.

Dear Soccer Families,

We hope you and your family are doing well. The pandemic has impacted everyone and
we are all having to adapt to all sorts of new things.

Today we are reaching out to our families asking for their support as
we rally to Save Our Park.

Ingold Sports Park is a multi-sport and activity complex, designed to serve the
Fallbrook, Rainbow, Bonsall and surrounding San Diego county communities. It is
managed and maintained by the Fallbrook Sports Association, a non-profit organization.
Ingold Sports Park is home to Fallbrook Youth Soccer, Villa Club Soccer, Adult
Soccer (men, women, and coed), Arena soccer (both youth and adult), Fallbrook Girls
Softball League, Fallbrook Senior Softball, Adult Softball (men, women, and coed),
Fallbrook Warriors Girls Rugby, Vista Baseball Academy, etc.

Due to state and county COVID regulations, Ingold Sports park has been forced to
close for most of these activities, losing their revenue stream. Right now, Ingold Sports
Park does not have the funding to remain open past January 2021.

It would be a disaster to lose this Fallbrook gem. Fallbrook residents have chosen
to live in our unique community rather than the bigger cities that surround us. Without
Ingold Sports Park, we will lose so many of the hometown community sporting activities
that we all love.

Here are some ways you can help:

• Show your support by making a tax-deductible donation to Ingold’s GoFundMe
  campaign at https://charity.gofundme.com/o/en/campaign/ingoldsportspark
• Or, mail a donation directly to the park at PO BOX 503, Fallbrook, CA 92088
  Every amount, big or small, matters. It will take a community effort, but we
  together we can save Ingold Sports Park. Please help keep the gates open for all
  Fallbrook families to enjoy. SPREAD THE WORD!!!
  
  With gratitude,
  Board of Directors
