Patriots Youth Travel Football 7U Florida Trip
Donation protected
We are the Patriots Youth Travel Football (PYTF) team, a historically successful Chicago area program with 10 national championships across several age levels. Founded in 2004, we are one of the oldest youth football programs and have been recognized nationally as one of the top teams.
Our 7U team is in our second year of existence. We formed this group in 2017 with 15 great young kids. In year one we won 2 games and lost 6. It was a learning year for sure.
This year our 7U team had a very successful season. We finished the regular season with a 6-2 record, clearly a huge turn-around. We then won the 1st ever BCA Mighty Mite Bowl, 49-0 over the Rockford Titans. From there we advanced to the MidAmerica Regional, defeating Chesterton 42-0. The Patriots are a group of 7 and 8 years olds coached by a group of dedicated working husbands and fathers.
We now have been formally invited to Fort Lauderdale, FL on December 12-16 to compete against the top 7U teams in the country. This is an invite only tournament and is equivalent to our players making it to the BCS Championship.
We started this GoFundMe page to raise money for the event fee, hotel, airfare, rental cars and other expenses for the 14 kids who play for our team. Our players come from several areas in and around the Chicagoland area and Western Suburbs from various income levels.
Obviously we realize the holidays are among us, but we are asking for donations to make sure we are able to take our entire team to Florida to compete and win. Our goal is to raise $3,000 by December 8th. We are asking for both personal donations and corporate sponsorship (both tax deductible).
Thank you in advance for your generous donation to help our young boys get to Ft Lauderdale, FL for the Youth National Championship.
