| Please briefly describe your organization/group and its mission or purpose: |
Rebellion 99, Inc. is an independent supporters' group for the Angel City FC women's soccer team in Los Angeles. Our members are joined together through our love of soccer, and together we use that passion to uplift our community. While our support in the stands is important, the work we do within our Los Angeles neighborhoods is equally – if not more – important. We recognize that soccer is a valuable outlet that can uplift women, our LGBTQIA+ community and marginalized neighborhoods throughout the Greater Los Angeles Area. We seek to inspire, drive change and bring about lasting impact for all underrepresented athletes and individuals for years to come. All funds gained by Rebellion 99, Inc. go toward fulfilling these missions and making Los Angeles a better place today than it was yesterday.

All funds gained by Rebellion 99, Inc. go toward fulfilling these missions and making Los Angeles a better place today than it was yesterday.
