Local Youth Track Club receives a promotional Boost for trip to Junior Olympics from the San Francisco 49ers!
The San Francisco 49ers have signed on as Advertising sponsors to help a local track and field club on their quest to get to Junior Olympics during this down economy. The Santa Clara, Umoja Track club, located here in the silicon valley has over 90 athletes aged 7-18. These local kids from all over the south bay area have been the receipients of many rewards, titles and championships in Track and Field and the team supports and promotes a healthy lifestyle to children and parents. This year the local team has almost 30 children qualifying for the Junior Olympics (USATF) in Greensboro, NC in August. The team has done several fundraising events but have only raised 9k and time is getting closer. With champions on the team like Cynthia Smith who was the featured athlete in Youth runner mag http://youth-usatf.youthrunner.com/ it is unbelivable that they don't have a sponsor in this region.
The Umoja Track Club is receiving 50% of the proceeds from a musical showcase being hosted Tuesday June 16th at Santa Clara's hottest venue "Nightclub Avalon", known for its legendary interior decoration and world class sound systems. The showcase is one of 4 musical centered event fundraisers geared at spotlighting local talent, and raising funds for local charities. As the "Jazz Edition" recipient www.umojatrackclub.com is requesting your presence at the event on June 16th 2009 "Red carpet" starting early for VIPs ad Local celebs at 7pm. The door proceeds will benefit the chidren of Umoja by covering the cost of travel, room, meals and board to the junior olympics this Summer. This Tuesdays event is for 21 and over and includes a wine tasting session hosted by Bottlenotes.com on behalf of CEO Alyssa Rapp who states “Bottlenotes.com salutes the extraordinary hard work of the student athletes at Umoja Track Club and the extensive volunteer work by parents to support their children pursue their athletic dreams.” –Alyssa J.
