NYC Subway Series Fundraising Game 2017

Yankees Vs. Mets meets S.M.B.S. Inc. 

We were able to quickly organize and assemble a group of 28 S.M.B.S. Inc. supporters at Yankee Stadium for a baseball fundraiser on Tuesday, August 15th, night.  It was not only a fundraiser but a peer/mentoring event led by our board member, Alexandria Agrinsoni, where scholars had the opportunity to meet each other and meet our supporters. 

It was an exciting and engaging game.  Everyone in attendance had an amazing time chanting for both the Yankees and the Mets.  Our group consisted of fans from both teams but united in laughter and good sportmenship supporting not only their teams but our cause.  

We raised $175 from tickets sales and donations. 

Thank you again to our amazing board; Kenny Lozano, Alexandria Agrinsoni, Fanny Mera and Diana Diaz Torres for this magnificent night of unity and fun.  Most importantly thank you to our supporters.

Another Winning Soccer Fundraiser 2017

A GOALLLLL of a Fundraiser - N.Y.C.F.C. vs. Redbull 2017

On Sunday, August 6th, night we walked out of Yankee Stadium winners not because N.Y.C.F.C. won the Redbulls 3:2 but we raised $230 from ticket sales and donations with 30 in attendance.

The game kept both team fans on the edge of their seats but it was certainly a great win for the N.Y.C.F.C. team.  

Thank you to everyone who came out for our annual soccer fundraiser game and those who generously donated to the event.  

It was truly an exciting and fun filled evening.

Until next year!
