Harlem's 1st Football Team WINS Division

Football Renaissance in Harlem

Hello FDA Family & Friends -

Great News! With only 5 weeks of pre-season practice, being a newly formed team and with the adjustments for both players and coaches the Frederick Douglass Academy Junior Varsity Lions Football Team triumphed, WINNING FIRST PLACE in their Bronx/Manhattan division amongst twelve participating established high schools. It is now time to celebrate this event and we are asking for your financial support in raising funds for an end of season banquet.

Over forty incoming freshmen and sophomores eagerly signed up and - with only 12 full squad practices, the opportunity to learn and perfect game plays the FDA Lions knew that in just 10 school days they would face their first opponent on September 20, 2013. From that moment on these scholars, champions and future leaders set their sights on accomplishing something great "“ not only for themselves and school but for the Harlem community as well. And they did it!

These young men have worked very hard to become champions, with daily practices while maintaining classes and games on weekends. Please know that every little bit helps and no donation is too small.

Together we can make sure that the players close out this historic season with a banquet that recognizes their accomplishments, enriches their spirit and supports their drive for success as they become role models for our community.

The deadline is fast approaching. We need to reach our goal of $4,000 by January 18, 2014.

These young men represent Harlem's Best and Brightest!

We desperately need your financial support to further their success.

THIS IS A ONCE IN A LIFTETIME HISTORIC OPPORTUNITY :Thank you for your support... GO LIONS!
