Turn them green !!

This is where we stand.

There are currently 225 children over the age of 6 years listed on Reece's Rainbow with less than $100 in their adoption grants.

179 out of the 225 have less than $50 in their grants.

131 of that 179 have less than $20 in their grants.

23 of that 131 have ZERO in their grants.

Can we fix that ?

Can we grow their grants and get them SEEN ??

HOW ??

What can we do ??

Can you help ?

Have you ever done a sponsored walk ?

As a child, did you ever have a sponsor form, where friends and family sponsored you for every mile you walked, or for how many books you read, or for how far you rode your bike ?

For a while now, I have been sponsoring goals - soccer goals !
My 11 year old son - "Newt" - plays soccer at several tournaments throughout the year, on an under-12 team.  For most tournaments, I pledge to donate a certain amount for each goal scored by his team.  I usually also pledge a little extra for each goal Newt scores.

Would you like to play along  ?

Newt will play in an indoor, futsal tournament next weekend, in Watertown, South Dakota (Jan 31st/Feb 1st)
 Futsal is a lot of fun - the boys play 5-a-side soccer on a basketball court.  It is fast paced, and very enjoyable for both players and spectators.
For the tournament next weekend, Newt's team will be playing "up", in an under-14 bracket, so the games will be hard - but, they're always up for the challenge, and tend to play harder against harder opposition.

I have a Facebook page where I keep those interested up to date with tournaments, and the scores of the games during the tournaments. You can find it HERE.

So - what do you think ?
Would you like to sponsor Team Galaxy's goals next weekend ?
It's easy - you can pledge any amount per goal - $1, $5, $100....
then, at the end of the tournament, just add up the total number of goals scored, and multiply that by your pledge. You can then donate that amount to any of the children with less than $100 - or split it between multiple children !
They will play in 3 games, with the possibility of a 4th if they get to the championship game.

Personally, I will pledge $1 per team goal, and $3 for any goals Newt scores.

So - who's next ?

What will YOU pledge ??

If you look at the list below, you will see that some of the children have now turned GREEN !!  I'm trying something new - every time any child gets any amount donated to their grant, or they move to the My Family Found Me category, they will turn GREEN.  That way - we can see who has been seen, who has been donated to - and who has been passed over. 
My goal ?  To see ALL of the children turn GREEN - I want them ALL to be seen by at least one person, all to be deemed worthy of a donation by at least one person. 

Can we do it ?

Can we turn them ALL green ?

Why don't you sponsor Team Galaxy's goals - then, after the tournament, YOU could be the one who turns them GREEN !!!

You can comment with your pledges in the comments below, or you can go to Newt's Goals for Orphans Facebook page.

THANK YOU !!!
