Red Stars Supporter's Group

Let me begin by congratulating the US Women's National Team for bringing home the gold at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. The two best teams in the world were matched up in the final, and the Americans did us proud.

Part in parcel with the enthusiasm from the woman's team performance and in recognition of the upcoming inaugural season of Woman's Professional Soccer (WPS) and the Chicago Red Stars, it is an honor to announce the formation of the Red Stars Supporters. The Red Stars Supporters is an interim organization that will serve to build a fan base for the Chicago Red Stars and women’s sports in the Chicagoland area, and help establish a permanent supporters group that will begin operations some time next year.

A board will be chosen from the initial membership and will begin establishing a database of potential supporters. Such a database will be used to distribute news and information on upcoming events and matches. In addition, the organization will raise funds through donations and sales of goods for future projects and charitable offerings.

Though we intend to work with Peter Wilt and the Chicago Red Stars in supporting the club, this organization is not directly associated with the club. The organization will be run and funded by its membership.

In the coming weeks, we will have contact information and a scarf design for pre-order. Thank you!
