The 24 Hour Soccer Marathon Fundraiser is 4 weeks away! I will be sending
communications through the team managers to distribute to your teams via Team Snap.
Please add your team’s game time to your Team Snap Schedule.
Each player will receive a link to create their own fundraising page – we will be using the
Better World fundraising platform as it is specific to non-profits. Below is additional
information explaining the entire fundraising event, please reach out if you have any
questions.
If a business would like to sponsor a player and have a banner out on the turf field, the
fee is $1500 for a 3×6 banner and a company link will be added to the www.fcpride.org
website home page. Please direct any questions to shannoncoleman@fcpride.org
Thank you for joining us in this fun fundraising event! Feel free to reach out with any
questions.
