Buy a Raffle Ticket, Build a Field, Enter (for a Chance) to Win a Bronco!
Kendall Central Oregon is proud to partner with Bend FC soccer to help create access for more youth sports programs to have a place to play through a Bronco Raffle to build two more turf fields at Pine Nursery Park. This week, Bend FC Youth Soccer Club officially launched the Bronco Raffle fundraiser at its annual club picnic, marking the beginning of an exciting community effort!
Families, players, coaches, and supporters gathered for the first public reveal of the raffle vehicle—a Ford Bronco Badlands purchased by Bend FC from Kendall. Wrapped with messages including “Be Part of the Play, Buy Your Ticket Today” and “Help Build the Future of Bend FC Soccer,” the Bronco serves as a rolling reminder of the impact this fundraiser can have on youth sports throughout our region.
While the project will benefit Bend FC’s growing soccer programs, the vision extends far beyond one organization. The additional turf fields will create more opportunities for youth sports of all kinds, helping local programs continue to grow while giving more kids access to safe, reliable places to play, practice, and compete.
To help make that vision a reality, Bend FC is selling raffle tickets for $50 each. One lucky winner will take home the Bronco, while every ticket sold moves the community one step closer to breaking ground on the new fields. The raffle winner will be announced in the fall of 2026.
At the annual picnic, the Kendall team joined the festivities with the Kendall tent, prize wheel, and giveaways, helping celebrate the launch alongside players and families. The partnership won’t stop there. Throughout the coming months, Bend FC will join Kendall at several community events, including the Crooked River Roundup and the Deschutes County Fair & Rodeo, providing additional opportunities for community members to learn about the project and purchase raffle tickets.
This fundraiser is about more than winning a vehicle. It’s about investing in the future of youth sports in Central Oregon. Every ticket purchased helps create opportunities for more young athletes to play, learn, compete, and build lifelong friendships through sports. We are honored to partner with Bend FC on this important initiative and encourage our community to help spread the word. Share the raffle with friends, family, coworkers, and fellow sports fans. After all, it only takes one ticket to win—and every ticket helps build the future!
