Starling qualified for 2026 USAU Nationals!

This is a very expensive endeavor and we have a strict leave no bird behind policy. As such we are requesting your help raising funds to help all of our birds make it to Nationals in San Diego! To help encourage donations, supporters can donate at a variety of tiers and still support our cause. 

Below are suggested tier amounts to cover specific costs. Each tier of donation earns a small token of our appreciation. Feel free to also donate any amount, even if it's more or less than the specific tiers.

Tier 1: earn a handwritten postcard

• Buy a Starling a meal - $25 - $50

• Buy a Starling a night of lodging - $100 - $200

Tier 2: earn a handwritten postcard and a Starling sticker

• Buy a Starling a ride (rental car) - $200 - $400

• Buy a Starling an entry fee - $275 - $300

Tier 3: earn a handwritten postcard and a disc or celly of choice on Nationals livestream

• Buy a Starling a flight - $500 - $1,000

Tier 4: earn a handwritten postcard and a Starling hat!

Top 10 donors by dollar amount will receive a Starling 2026 Nationals exclusive sweatshirt!

To sponsor a particular player, navigate to their photo below and click the link. Each link will lead to Allyse's venmo and auto-populate the memo with that Starling's name. Donors may indicate what the donation is for (lodging, flight, etc.) and if it is for any specific bird in our flock or just to the team in general. For example, you would write in the venmo memo "Sponsoring Mo, for rental car" and send $400. Include an email address in the memo if you want to redeem your reward so we can contact you.
