Donations
Since our founding in 1951, The Touchdown Club has proudly served as a cornerstone of community support for youth athletics in Anne Arundel County. Our mission is simple yet impactful: to promote and sustain youth sports programs that develop teamwork, leadership, discipline, and confidence in our young athletes.
For over 70 years, we’ve provided critical financial support to youth football teams, cheer squads, and other athletic programs throughout the county. Whether it’s purchasing new equipment, covering transportation costs, assisting with league fees, or helping athletes access training opportunities, your generosity directly fuels their ability to play, grow, and succeed—on and off the field.
We are proud to operate as a 100% volunteer-run organization, which means every dollar you donate goes straight to supporting local youth sports. Your support ensures that cost is never a barrier to participation and that every child has the chance to experience the many life-changing benefits of team athletics.
We invite you to become a vital part of our mission. Your tax-deductible contribution—whether large or small—helps us continue making a difference in the lives of thousands of young people each year. Together, we can level the playing field and create lasting opportunities for the next generation of leaders.
Thank you for your support and for believing in the power of sports to build stronger kids and a stronger community.
