Our Lady of Grace Soccer is asking for your support for their 25th anniversary dinner dance on September 8 at Roma View Catering. Since 1993, Our Lady of Grace Soccer Association has been building and providing a welcoming environment for the youth of Southern Queens community. This year they are honoring Melinda Murray for her strong commitment to developing awareness and prevention of sudden cardiac arrest. Melinda’s foundation, The Dominic A. Murray 21 Memorial Foundation, has sponsored our indoor soccer program tournaments, multiple other organization events, as well as donated a life-saving automated external defibrillator (AED) that our coaches now have at hand at every game and practice. Melinda’s extraordinary commitment to our youth continues to be exhibited through the foundation by providing screening events for students and young adults ages 12 to 25 and youth CPR training which includes AED training.
Our fundraising efforts are necessary for our programs to continue. Your donation will help support the develop-ment of children between the ages of three to fourteen. In addition to participating in fall and spring CYO soccer seasons, they have an indoor program in the winter and an instructional camp during the summer. However, the program’s impact goes far beyond the age of fourteen as the children of our program continue to use the morals, team focus, skill and abilities throughout their life and social interactions. With your support, the organization can continue to impact children’s lives in our community year-round.
The Our Lady of Grace Soccer Association is a 501(c)(3) organization; therefore, your donation is tax deductible. If you are interested in purchasing tickets, they are available via their website: www.olgsoccer.com. If you have any questions, please contact us via email: [email protected]. Thank you in advance for your support. Sincerely, Dr. Jerome Antonino, Jon Rosen, Kevin McNally and the Our Lady of Grace Soccer Fundraising Committee
