The Segerstrom High School Girls Varsity Soccer team made history on February 27, 2026, by winning the CIF Southern Section (CIF-SS) Division 6 Championship. This victory was the first CIF title for the girls’ soccer program and the first-ever CIF Championship in girls’ soccer for the entire Santa Ana Unified School District (SAUSD)
Unfortunately the young ladies on this team do not have the funds to buy a championship ring. For many high school programs, these rings are not funded by the school district, leaving it to boosters, parents, and community fundraising to cover the costs.
A supporter has created a GoFundMe page to help them to raise the funds to buy their rings. The page has been verified by GoFundMe.
Here is an excerpt from the page:
These dedicated student-athletes worked tirelessly, showing heart, resilience, and teamwork every step of the way. Now we want to reward them with something they’ll cherish forever—a championship ring to remember this incredible achievement.
Any donation, big or small, helps us celebrate this historic moment. Thank you for supporting our team!
Average Cost of Championship Rings
The price of a championship ring can vary significantly based on customization, materials, and whether the vendor is an officially licensed provider.
- Custom High-End Rings: Most custom championship rings from officially licensed CIF providers like Signature Championship Rings or Jostens typically range from $189 to $350 per ring.
- Premium/Solid Metal Rings: High-tier options, such as those made of sterling silver or with extensive “iced-out” stone work, can cost between $350 and $540+ per ring.
- Budget-Friendly Options: Non-licensed or stock “off-the-shelf” rings can be much cheaper, starting as low as $10 to $50 per ring, though these lack the deep customization of official championship jewelry.
