Proceeds will benefit a 13 year old boy who is in need of an eye surgery due to an injury when he was 5 years old.

They all confirmed that he has lost vision in that eye and will need cosmetic surgery and a prosthetic eye. We are hosting this soccer tournament in Laguna Niguel in hopes of raising money for his surgery. All of the money raised will go directly to this cause. We are looking for teams from the ages of U-9 through U 17 boys and girls and an adult division. Attached is a flier and a form for you to fill out.

A.F.R.I.C.A,
AIDS in Africa: A Convenient Amnesia
A.F.R.I.C.A, which stands for Africa's Future Rid of the Impacts and Causes of AIDS, is a group of recently graduated seniors from Sage Hill School in Newport Coast. Our group initially got together after we became informed and concerned about the genocide in Darfur. With other Sage Hill students we raised awareness, sent emails and called our Congress people urging them to vote for a bill to take action in Darfur. Soon, however, we became aware of the many obstacles standing in our way of helping due to the political situation. We still wanted to help though, just in a different and nonpolitical way.
Cost Cutting Strategies
How to Stretch Your Dollar
Cost-Cutting Strategies
Ask for donations, borrow, get the best value…sometimes it’s easier to say than do! Here are a few resources that will help your project or organization keep costs to a minimum:
Craigslist is a great website bustling with free classifieds for almost everything.
Even though Craigslist is not available everywhere and some communities are more active than others; however, the community is growing and more regions are added every few months. Go to www.craigslist.org/ and click on your city or state.
Email everyone in your address box: Ask for donations for your project or organization. Describe your project or organization and request in-kind or monetary donations. Requesting financial help is most effective if your YAH team has a website with secure area where users can make a credit card donation or takes them to a form they can print and mail in with a check. The most important thing is to ask everyone.

Y.A.H and The C.H.I.L.D organization are holding a bicycle drive for disadvantaged students in minority communities, and are asking individual members of the community to donate their old bicycles. Donated bicycles will be given to local police departments, who refurbish and donate them to minority students who cannot afford to buy bicycle. By doing so, C.H.I.L.D hopes to close the gap among communities and help to develop a better relationship among local police departments and the communities they serve.
