IntroductION TO THE CHAMPIONS FOUNDATION

The Champions Foundation was established in May 2006 and every cent of the money raised provides financial aid for qualified Lonestar families. This year, 2011-2012, Lonestar has over 180 players who qualified for various amounts of financial aid totaling over $138,000. These awards are based on economic need and federal poverty guidelines, and not on talent. Financial aid is based on strict guidelines and is awarded to players irrespective of their select soccer level of play.

 

Lonestar Soccer Club is committed to developing young men and women into champions on the field, in the classroom, and in the community.  Oftentimes, however, many of these bright young men and women who possess exceptional talent and dedication to the sport are unable to afford the opportunity to play select soccer.The Lonestar Champions Foundation has been created with the ideal that every child who desires to become a champion has the opportunity for success not only on the soccer field, but in life as well.

 

Research has proven time and time again that children who participate in team sports have lower drop-out rates, lower incidence of substance abuse, higher marks in the classroom, and exceptional character development and better self-esteem than their peers who do not engage in team sports. The impact of participating in athletics is obvious and important in shaping the youth of our community.

 

Approximately 10% of families in the Austin area have an annual income below the poverty level according to the 2000 census. The Champions Foundation helps families in our club afford for their children to play soccer and create an opportunity for young minds to thrive by providing financial aid for those who qualify based on economic need.

 

We, at Lonestar, believe that “success is where preparation meets opportunity”, and that preparation requires your help. Please help us succeed in creating champions by joining the Lonestar Champions Foundation today.

 

The goal for the 2011-2012 Champions Foundation campaign is to raise $130,000.00. Your donations are also fully tax deductible.

 

 

Thank you in advance for your donation and support,
