Small Town, Big HeartOrting?!?! Where is Orting?!? And who the heck are the Cardinals?
Forty miles Northwest in the shadow of Mt Rainier you will find our Sleepy little town.Orting is a small town with a big view and is home to a 9U football team who is asking for help to send us to earn our first ever national championship.
On November 24th the Orting Junior Cardinals 9U football team won the NW Regional Championship and earned an invitation to the Pro Football Hall of Fame National Championship hosted in Canton, Ohio 2.5 weeks from now. Opening Ceremonies are December 11th and game play begins on December 12th.
Coming from a small town with limited recreation options, our kids are deeply immersed in athletics. Some of them started as early as kindergarten, and have been developing a chemistry on the field that is truly mature beyond their years. Our kids often aren't the biggest or strongest... they are often outmatched in size. What they do have is the most heart and deepest love for game which shows everytime they march out onto the turf. Many opposing teams have said they dont know if anyone can beat the OJC 9U, we are fundraising to put that theory to the ultimate test.
This team is made up of 28 of the toughest 3rd & 4th graders you will find. Every game from High School to Junior league our fans show up in crazy numbers. On game day you will hear us long before you see us crazed football moms rattle off Cow bells, cheerleaders bringing all spirit. Fans cheering and at times it sounds like the stadium bleachers are being put to the test, walking into our stadium you would see a sea of fans dressed head to toe in red and black.
Now we are asking for our community to once again show up for us, we need your support to take our small town athletes to the national stage.
Our goal is to raise enough money to cover flight, hotel, meals, and cold weather gear for 28 players and 5 coaches. We are estimating the need for $60,000.
We are a 501 c 3 nonprofit and any donations to us will be tax deductible.
