Message from AC Cugini 's Executive Director:
Before each season, AC Cugini reminds players and their families of the importance of volunteering to participate in team fundraisers to support the team as well as more easily afford soccer expenses - whether tournament fees, State Cup fees, uniform fees, AC Cugini player fees, overseas travel for tAC Cugini's Play Soccer in Italy program, etc. AC Cugini well understands that fundraising takes time and that everyone has a busy home and work life and that some parents hold down two or more jobs. However, there are many opportunities and ways every parent and every player can participate in a fundraiser - whether dining out at a restaurant designated as a fundraiser, purchasing an item the team is selling, or, by simply telling family members, friends, church members, neighbors - by phone, text, email, or Facebook/twitter - about any fundraiser to ensure the fundraiser is a success.
We ask all players to consider that giving back to your team when you have others working hard to help you is an extremely positive experience for all, with long-lasting benefits. Fundraising is also essential for players on scholarship as they are required to participate in at least one fundraiser per year to maintain their scholarship status.
AC Cugini is always happy to publicize any fundraiser a team conducts on the AC Cugini Facebook page and website. So please send me details about your team fundraiser as soon as you finalize the event/activity so we can help promote it well in advance!
Below are important guidelines, requirements, and resources to help teams get started.
Best wishes to all AC Cugini teams for successful fundraising!l
Lisa Cherubini
Executive Director
