Hello! Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!

This August I begin an internship with Grassroot Soccer, an organization dedicated to fighting the HIV/AIDS virus through the beautiful game, soccer. The organization primarily targets African youth using professional soccer players, local coaches and leaders to spread the message.

As an intern I will be using my skills to help the organization continue the great work it does. Field Interns advocate, network and assist in program development. I believe in the work Grassroot Soccer does and I hope that you can assist me in my quest to make this internship a reality.

Because this is a volunteer position I am required to fundraise all expenses associated with the internship. GRS estimates that an intern needs $10,000 to cover travel, room and board, medical expenses and other incidentals associated with the internship.

Every donation counts and I appreciate any assistance you provide. This could be directing others to this site or making a donation yourself. I can assure you that I will wholeheartedly serve the organization because I truly believe in the work they do. I will be blogging about my experiences with Grassroot Soccer here: http://tinachograssroots.blogspot.com/

Thank you again for your support, and should you have any more questions about the internship, feel free to email me at tinachoc@gmail.com

Once again please feel free to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate/help too!

Following are other means you may use to donate:

Since Grassroot Soccer is based in the United States, I realize that the majority of people who file their tax returns in the Canada will not be considered eligible for charitable contribution tax status. Despite this drawback, I urge you to consider the enormous impact that your donation has – GRS interns perform a vital function, and without their support, GRS literally would not be able to run.
