The Description

With these funds I will...

purchase a bench for game days on the sidelines.  I want to purchase at least one bench for our soccer team.  Many of our kids along the sidelines sit on the ground during games since there are no benches.  One particular bench includes a shelf for the bags of the players.  This will help tremendously during game days to keep everyone's stuff organized.  Each bench costs $1,569.00.  They are 21' long with a back rest and a shelf.

Benches will also be used for the football games as well.

Back Up Plan

If I do not meet my goal I will purchase...equipment and gear for the kids.  We start with $0 per year and any money raised will be used to update our current equipment and help fund practice gear for the kids.  We need quality game balls which are not cheap and need new practice balls to replace our old ones.  Our school district provides us with 4 new soccer balls per team for the year.  A team usually consists of 14-20 kids.  The rest of the money will be used to offset costs of practice gear for the kids.  Gear usually includes several practice shirts, outerwear, socks, bags and warm-up pants.  Everything is invested to the team to make their season as enjoyable and memorable as possible.

Thanks to the Ryans and Rassins for their investments! Great supporters of our Pershing Soccer teams!  Also, to my personal friends Arturo and Sarah for their contributions.  We are getting closer to our goal!  Share our cause with others.  This bench will also benefit Lacrosse and Football.

We might be able to get a better deal for the bench!  Any amount will definitely help.  Please help keep the kids off the ground!!

About the Creator

I have been Pershing's soccer coach since 2011. I enjoy running the program and try my best to make it a program the kids can be proud of. Our athletic programs do not get a budget so we raise funds every year so that we can have decent equipment and gear. My kids work hard not only in practice but in raising money as well. My goal is to raise enough money every year to have a working budget without placing any financial burden on my kids.
