Pay-What-You-Can Program for AYCC Youth Athletics
Pay-What-You-Can Program for AYCC Youth Athletics

The AYCC’s Pay-What-You-Can Program (PWYC) for youth athletics offers a flexible payment model, allowing youth to register and pay in $10 increments from $0 to $100. This initiative ensures that all youth can participate, regardless of their financial situation. The actual cost to run most programs is $80 per child, which covers essentials like sports supplies, t-shirts, staff, utilities, and officials.

The AYCC encourages those who can afford to pay the full $80 or more to help offset costs for families in need. Any contributions exceeding $80 are tax-deductible donations, supporting the sustainability of the program and helping provide equal opportunities for all participants.

The City of Waterville’s Police Department have chosen to fundraise for the PWYC! Support the initiative by clicking the button below.
