ATTENTION ALL OBSC FAMILIES AND FRIENDS

This year will be the first annual Oak Brook Soccer Club sporting goods donation drive for underprivileged children worldwide through Sports Gifts Inc. We are asking for families and friends to contribute by donating gently used and/or new SOCCER equipment from the list provided below by March 9, 2010.

The club will launch the donation drive beginning in January. If every OBSC player donates just one item from the list we could collect equipment for over 200 needy children. Please bring all donations to your team’s trainer on the following dates:

January 12, 19
February 2, 9, 16, 23
March 2, 9

Following the last collection date OBSC will be boxing up the equipment and shipping the items to Sports Gifts headquarters where they will be distributing the equipment worldwide.
