Trip Specifics for Italy

Greetings! I am starting this blog with hopes that the information provided about the Italy trip will be accurate, up to date, and useful. I figured this would be the best way for everyone to get the information they need. Below are some important details regarding the trip next May. Please continue checking the blog frequently and do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.

Travel Dates

*Kids between 2-7 years old (sharing parents bed or a cot) is free of charge. They will pay for airfare only.

Fundraising
Fundraising is going to be one of the most vital steps in the trip process. In 2007, we had one of the most successful fundraising campaigns in the 15 year existence of Global Football. Everyone involved will need to be relentless and take a lot of initiative to ensure we maximize all opportunities. Below are some projected ideas we as a football program are going to pursue:

1. Our staff will send a letter to all football alumni asking for their support.
2. Our advancement office will provide sponsorship letters for players to take to potential donors.
3. We will host a fundraising event in the WINTER (possibly a celebrity basketball game)
4. Raise money during the season through various functions, raffles, contests, and sales.

What Do You Need To Do Now
1. If you do not have a passport, start the process NOW!
2. Make plans to get the $100 deposit in by September 1st.
3. Think about potential people that would help support your trip financially.
