We'd like to promote the student project of a current Oakland Mills High School senior Kevin Sullivan. It's great to support local initiatives, especially when they involve projects that really encourage young people to learn the importance of giving. We ask that you take the time to ready about Soccer Saves Lives and the impact it will make.
The description goes as follows...
Soccer Saves Lives is a student-led organization out of Oakland Mills High School that aims to educate teens and adults alike on the HIV/AIDS epidemic in West Africa. It is common that West African countries may not be given the same attention as other areas of Africa who have significant problems with HIV/AIDS. However, in Nigeria alone, more than 2.5 million people have AIDS. The suffering is real, but the possibility for education and prevention of HIV/AIDS becomes increasingly more likely if we act now.
Soccer Saves Lives sells t-shirts for the cause and uses the international connector of people, cultures and races to help raise money and supplies for children in West Africa. With the help of our community, and particularly the soccer community, Soccer Saves Lives can provide the resources and education our brothers and sisters in West Africa need in order to live HIV/AIDS free
As part of this initiative, 100% of the money from t-shirt sales will go to hospitals and youth organizations in West Africa who can provide direct aid for those most in need. Thank you for your support and let us as a community put a kick against HIV/AIDS!
T-shirts are only $10. Buy one to wear around town, while practicing soccer or to sleep in. Buy them for your intramural teams, summer leagues, etc.
