Friends of Surf (FoS) will host our 3rd annual fundraising event, Juggles for Dimes. The event will be on November 11 from 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM at Econome park. Half the money raised will go to the player’s team fund and the other half will contribute to the Friends of Surf fund created to help make soccer more affordable for those in need, to support Surf’s coach and player recognition program and to support other charitable initiatives in our community.

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 to help make soccer more affordable for those in need, to support Surf’s coach and player recognition program and to support other charitable initiatives in our community

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. Flat donation amounts are also an option

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).

Prizes

Surf gear and swag will be awarded to the top 3 boys and top 3 girls in each of the following age groups:

  • Academy: U9-U10
  • U11-U14
  • U15+

Players can drop in at anytime from 5:00-8:00 PM to have your juggling score recorded.

The boys and girls team with the largest contribution will receive a fun training session with the club coach of their choice followed by pizza.

This is a great opportunity for everyone to make a difference for their team and their community. Let’s go Surf Nation! Share your juggle training by using #flsjugglesfordimes and make sure to tag us on Facebook and Instagram posts!
