Our annual fundraiser is currently underway, and we are asking for your support. We will be selling raffle tickets for a prize of two round trip tickets to Jamaica provided by Air Jamaica and its regional representative, Ms. Michelle Henry. The raffle books will be sold at our First Annual Soccer Tournament on Saturday October 29, 2006 at Wade Walker Park 5585 Rockbridge Rd. Stone Mountain, GA. We are thrilled about this year’s fundraiser as we will be working with The Caribbean Soccer League to bring together players of all nationalities and ages to compete for medals and bragging rights.
We expect to have 25 teams consisting of 8 players on each side, with each player paying a $20 entrance fee. Additionally, Air Jamaica has agreed to provide the top goal scorer with the “Top Flight” trophy.
We anticipate an overwhelming turnout based on our relationship with several media house along with many other organizations with which we have a working relationship. We expect our advertising campaign to yield several hundred spectators. Proceeds will benefit UFJ and the Sickle Cell Foundation of Atlanta.
