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!

The Henschke Family! 

This is not the first time they are winners as their little ones won a couple of years ago.   This time the selection was based on the large outcome.  This family has lots of love to share.  Thanks for sharing it with us.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Thank you to Our Special Lil' Guy

For a couple of years, our Nicolas started generously donating part of his birthday money to charities of his choice, most of the time our organization.   When we asked this year Nicolas 'who do you want to donate to?', he thought about it for a split second and made a firm decision.

Truly, if it was up to him his whole birthday money would have been evenly distributed to all in need. Have a giving and loving heart is truly what any parent strives for but a very grateful child is far more rewarding than anything else.   Nicolas says he blessed and we all believe he is.

This is indeed a lesson for all in giving and being grateful, especially during this period of Lent.  

A portion ($250) was not only donated to our organization, his cousin's memorial scholarship, but another percentage was donated to his school, Queen of the Rosary Catholic Academy, for needed equipment.  He says the money will be used for a good cause and trusts that it will directly help kids simply striving to obtain a good education.  We love you Nicolas!!! You are truly phenomenal as you say you are!

Thank you Nicolas and Happy Blessed10th Birthday!
