Our club received an anonymous donation of $200,000 to pay down existing debt. Our current debt balance is now $560,000. We successfully refinanced this debt and reduced our interest rate from 8% to 4%. We are now paying quarterly payments of both interest and principal.
Legal Update
On December 29, 2022, three former staff members were convicted of Criminal Mischief in the Third Degree. The District Attorney’s press release on this matter is attached. As part of a plea agreement, former staff members paid a fine totalling $3,000. These funds were received by Bend FC and will be applied to our scholarship/financial aid fund.
The stay in the civil case against former staff has been lifted. Discovery and depositions have resumed.
The defamation case filed against the club by a former staff member is currently pending. The club is being represented by counsel paid by our insurance policy for this matter.
