Our Mission

About Brunswick Ararat Youth Football League

Help Keep Brunswick Ararat Youth Football on the FieldBrunswick Ararat Youth Football League (BAYFL) is a nonprofit organization that is not financially supported by a town or school.While many youth football programs have their fields and operating costs covered by local municipalities or schools, BAYFL must pay to lease our field, maintain the grounds, provide lawn care, supply power and water, and carry insurance. These essential expenses alone cost thousands of dollars before we can purchase helmets, uniforms, gear, or other equipment for our players.That is why every fundraiser matters. The money we raise is truly necessary for our program to operate and for the next season to begin.Please consider supporting BAYFL by donating, volunteering, sharing our message, or helping spread the word. Every contribution – whether it is money, time, or simply sharing the message – helps our young athletes continue playing the sport they love.
