Beneficiary Information
The “B” in GRUB is for benefit. We raise money from pledges from your friends, families and coworkers. This is a great way for ultimate players to bring the spirit of the game off the field and into the community. As an incentive for you to raise pledges above the entry fee we will give a thank you gift to individuals who raise extra donations.
Youth Services Initiative is a community-based after school and summer program for those living in Boulder’s low-income housing. Funds raised will increase opportunities for exercise and outdoor recreation for middle and high school aged kids. These programs empower youth to make informed, positive choices related to recreational and lifestyle pursuits.

FIELD USE
Remember as in most urban centers, quality recreational spaces are sparse and competitive adult ultimate does not get highest priority when it comes to obtaining this site. So be mindful of the surrounding neighbors, obey the park regulations, and use your common sense so that you do not jeopardize future ultimate events.
- No glass bottles permitted on the fields.
- NO Dogs. Really no dogs, not in your car, not on a leash, not on the fields, and not in the parking lot.
- Please do not practice at the Pleasant View site until the day of the tournament. If your team is coming in from out of town here is a link to a map of various field locations in Boulder: Field Maps. Please note that certain locations are by reservation only.
OUT OF TOWN GUESTS
There is no camping on the fields. Here is a map other amenities.
