Help Ariella with her football dream!!

As some of you may already know, Ari played tackle football this year after asking us to play for a very long time. She has always wanted to be the first girl to make it into the NFL. She worked harder than we ever imagined, and she competed in a sport that barely accepts female athletes beyond the youth level. She not only competed, she was chosen as a top QB for her leagues All-Star showcase. At that showcase she was seen by coaching staff for the Team Massachusetts 6th grade tackle football All-Star team. She has been asked to compete with 34 other athletes from all over New England to represent Massachusetts on the All-American stage at the US Army Bowl in Frisco Texas from December 12th to December 19th.

This means the world to her and with so many having seen her potential, we as a family feel this is an important step not only for her and her career, but also for this sport that is primarily seen as a man's sport. To have a female QB at the All-American Bowl is one of the highest accomplishments she can achieve.

We are asking for your help to get her there. With such short notice and the holidays among us, we need help supporting her dream. The travel costs for her and her dad to attend are quite high and we are hoping to help raise half of the costs. Any help you can give is appreciated! Thank You so much!
