The 2nd Annual Juggles for Dimes fundraiser is kicking off and will happen on Saturday, November 6th from 4pm to 8pm, at John Kemp Community Park in Folsom!!! The picnic style event invites all families from the Folsom Lake Surf community to enjoy an evening of fun, games, food vendors, 50/50 raffle and auction, SWAG, local businesses, and an appearance by a special guest(s). The focus of the event will be to raise money for your team as well as Friends of Surf’s newly organized mission Surf Cares.

Raised Funds

  • 50% goes into the player’s team account to cover team expenses
  • 50% goes to Surf for All – the charitable arm of our club that gives soccer scholarships to players in need

Players from each team will go out into their community asking for pledges per juggle or a flat donation
amount. The participants will then showcase their skills at the event. Each player is given 5 minutes to
get as many consecutive juggles as they can.

Rules

  • Max consecutive juggles during the 5 minutes per juggle is the player’s score
  • For each pledge the donation amount will be the score times that amount

Example: Player receives a pledge of 25 cents per juggle and they complete 100 consecutive juggles. The donation would then be $25.

Individual players will go out and get donations/pledges from their community and return the forms to their team manager. Players can provide donors with an option to pay with cash, check (made out to Folsom Lake Surf) or visit the following link: https://app.99pledges.com/fund/folsomlakesurf2021. Please be advised that all donations are tax deductible.

Prizes

groups:

  • Pre-Academy: U7-U8
  • Academy: U9-U10
  • U11-U14
