Grassroot Soccer needs your help to win between $125,000-$1,000,000!
Grassroot Soccer was recently selected as one of 25 charities to compete for the
Chase Community Giving American Giving Awards. We'll be competing in the Educators
& Mentors category. The non-profit that receives the most votes on Facebook in
each category in Round 1 (Sept. 28-Oct. 5) moves on to Round 2 and will win between
$125,000-$1,000,000. This funding could make a big impact toward Grassroot Soccer's
goal of educating 1 million African youth in life-saving HIV education, and empowering
them with skills and knowledge to mobilize their communities against the spread
of AIDS.
To move on, Grassroot Soccer will need as many votes as possible. Please VOTE
(vote at http://on.fb.me/mRPVpJ) and also SHARE this information with your tournament
participants, classmates, friends and families? It could really make a difference!
