Vista Pop Warner Plans Fundraisers After Theft

Vista Pop Warner Little Scholars Football and Cheer has adopted new by-laws and implemented new policies and procedures for all incoming funds after their former treasurer stole over $100,000 from the organization.

Rachel M. Owens was arrested on several felonies, including grand theft and identity theft on February 24.

The board has approved several fundraisers that are essential for the new program to move forward, especially since the season starts in less than five months.

Moonshine Miles is a country music themed fun run on March 18 and 19. If people enter the code VFW when purchasing tickets $5 will be donated to Vista Pop Warner.

Carlsbad restaurant Bistro West plan to donate 50% of all proceeds from 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. on April 10 to the organization.

The new program also includes a new committee with complete financial access and oversight.

People interested in donating directly can go to Vista Pop Warner’s website.
