Giving Back to Local Youth

The Plumas Lake Oktoberfest is hosted by HEGEMONY Sports, with all proceeds directly benefiting the HEGEMONY Sports and Mentoring programs. We give young athletes, ages 4–15, an affordable opportunity to play organized sports while learning teamwork, sportsmanship, and life skills. By keeping registration costs significantly lower than those of other local sports, our program ensures every child has the chance to participate. Proceeds from the festival go toward scholarships, equipment, field costs, and league support.

The money raised also helps us provide activities for kids at our event, ensuring a memorable experience for everyone.

The HEGEMONY H.O.P.E. Foundation is a 501(c)(3) Charitable-Based organization seeking local support to enhance our youth sports league, which provides high-quality, low-cost athletic opportunities for boys and girls ages 5 to 15. Our current professional programming includes:

NFL Flag Football
Jr. NBA
Jr. WNBA
MLS GO

The Impact of Your Support

Our mission is to ensure that every child in our community has the chance to play, regardless of their financial circumstances. However, the costs associated with running a professional-grade league are rising. Donations and support would be directed toward three critical areas:

Lowering Registration Fees: We believe cost should never be a barrier to entry. Funding will allow us to subsidize registration, making the league affordable for more local families.
Certified Officiating: Hiring qualified referees is essential for player safety and ensuring a fair, educational environment for our athletes.
Equipment and Supplies: From new game balls to safety gear and uniforms, updated equipment ensures our players can perform at their best.

Why Youth Sports Matter

Youth sports are about more than just the final score. Through our NFL Flag, Jr. NBA/WNBA, and MLS GO programs, local children learn the value of teamwork, discipline, and physical health. By keeping our costs low, we can keep more kids off the sidelines and on the court or field, fostering a stronger, more connected community.
