Friends of Children of Brevard, a non-profit established in 1985, aims to improve the lives of abused, neglected, and abandoned children in Brevard County. Their vision is to assist every child in the Guardian ad Litem program. A Guardian ad Litem is a volunteer who represents a child's best interests. We plan to support FCB by hosting a softball tournament and raising $1500 to aid their cause. Additional funds will be generated through a raffle and concession sales. Prizes for the raffle include tickets to a Tampa Bay Rays game, gift cards, and more. Stay tuned for ticket sales information on our website.

How will we help Friends of Children of Brevard? • As a team we would like to host a softball tournament at Don “Mo” Stradley Memorial Park • We would like to donate $1500 to Friends of Children of Brevard (FCB) that will be generated by the softball tournament and related fundraising ventures.
With entrance fees of $150-$200 and an expected turn out of 8 teams totaling up to $1200-$1600 minus an estimated $600 necessary cost to host the tournament we foresee the tournament bringing in $600-$1000 dollars
Where are the additional funds coming from? • In addition to the softball tournament we plan on holding a raffle • Concessions at the game is also a potential income producer
The Raffle • Tickets: $2 each or 3 for $5 • Potential winnings: The ideas we have come up with for prizes include: 4 tickets to a Tampa Bay Rays vs. Boston Red Sox game in Tampa, gift cards to places such as Beef ‘O’ Brady’s, Sports Authority or Dick’s, Planet Smoothie, and a spa.
