They recently booked their flights to Cameroon and will arrive in Douala on July 3rd! As a result, the young players (age 19-23) quickly learned how important it is to raise funds for THEIR OWN travel and living expenses while in country.
They wrapped presents at a local shopping mall in December.
As a team,they created a Goal-a-Thon for their Winter Indoor Soccer Season. Each of the players traveling asked their friends and family to each pledge something per goal, usually $1.
They have scored over 50 goals so far.
They are planning a Spaghetti Dinner and have had a "Dance Club Night".
But this is the icing on the cake...
Next Tuesday two FSS players, Simon and Gaelle, are heading into the studio for an interview to be on a game show!
Des Skelettes Dans le Placards (Skeletons in the Closet) is a game show in which three celebrities present what appears to be an embarrassing story about themselves. Two of these 'skeletons in the closet' are true. One is false. Two teams of 25 participants go head to head to determine who is telling the truth. The host asks questions to help the teams figure out which story belongs to which celebrity and vote for which story is not true. The winning team takes home $1000.
GOOD LUCK!!
As we prepare for our own Fundraising Drive this Spring, WE WELCOME ANY IDEAS YOU HAVE!!
