Team Fundraising Page
Benicia Arsenal FC 2000 has raised NEARLY $5,000 this year to help our girls reach every bit of potential they can reach as soccer players. Our goal this year was $5,000, and several weeks ago the team surpassed their goals. This web page will be the transparent journal of our daughters' efforts (w/ their families) to work together to raise the funds to work towards one unified goal. More very soon!!!
So here is the listing of our team account w/ descriptions of each purchase. I purposely did not include minor bank service charges. Both Leslie and I have copies of our bank statements, which either of us will gladly show to any of you who would like to see them.
Our fundraising, as of 10/16/10, is as follows:
$ 2,763.77
1,064.01
142.75
500.00
372.59
+ 750.00 (from Wells Fargo)
$ 5593.12
- 1,250.00 (to pay WFC for chocolate)
$ 4343.12
AND two checks we're waiting to cash:
$250 -- from a client of Jamie Smith (thanks Jamie)
$94.40 -- the amount from Jamba Juice
for a grand total (currently) of $ 4,687.52
When I initially told the team we'd met our $5,000 goal, I included the $802.75 deposit as fundraising, and Leslie corrected me -- only $142.75 of that was officially from fundraising. But, if you consider that we were reimbursed the full $600 for our NorCal Cup fees from BYSL, it is either like playing in a free tournament or you could say like $600 more for our coffers. Either way, outstanding job from everyone on the team that has helped fundraise this year... and a special thank you to both Ben and Connie Diaz for leading us down this path.
