The Tournament

The day was gorgeous; we could not have asked for a more beautiful day. We started setting up around 11:00. There were three fields and eight teams. There were also several people who showed up to watch the games. They either had friends playing in the games, or they just wanted to donate to a good cause. We had food, drinks, music, and lots of fun. We also gave away free prizes. Tournament players actually participated in a raffle for chances to win other prizes. We had prized donated by Best Buy, ESPN, DC United, and others. Those who won the raffle won chances to kick soccer balls toward a goal that had signs hung, strung, and taped from the bars of the goal bearing the names of these prizes. We thought it was a great success, and we raised a pretty good amount of money to send to Africa.
