The Beginning

Dear friends,
We are planning and organizing a charity basketball game in mid-April to benefit children in Mozambique, Africa and children at the Boys and Girls Club here in Harrisonburg, VA. The main way we hope to raise money is by sponsorships, both personal and corporate. Our goal is to gather 50 athletes to play basketball from 4 pm, April 16, until 5 pm, April 17, 2010. Why 25 hours? Because we understand that it's going to take more than one day to change the world.
Each team will represent one of the beneficiaries and will consist of 25 players. Our plan is for no athlete to have to play more than 5 hours of basketball total. Our purpose of this game is to raise awareness for and bless the children of Africa and Harrisonburg, but we also hope to inspire others to follow our lead and support in their own way. We realize that it's not only going to take more than one day but also more than one group to change the world, so we would love it if you would consider joining alongside of us in impacting the world, locally and globally, for the better.
For more information, please feel free to e-mail us at thedrivefor25@gmail.com.
Thanks for checking out our blog! We'll be posting things through the next weeks in preparation for this game... only 7 weeks and 5 days! Have a wonderful Sunday...
