Orange, TX Longhorns Need assistance

[td]

Thanks in advance for those that choose to help. By making us stay on Disney property the cost is unbelievable. We will be there for a week and be in the top 4 in the Nation in Pop Warner. We still have to win in San Antonio this weekend to make it but we have to prepare now. The cost is about $20,000 for the week. Anything can happen but it's a great opportunity for these boys to play for a National Championship.


The Orange Longhorns travelled to McAllen, TX this past Saturday to compete in the Pop Warner Semi-Finals.  They walked away with a 37-8 victory over the South Texas Cardinals (Corpus Christie) to complete another step in their trek to the Pop Warner National Championship in Orlando, Florida. They face College Station Raiders this Saturday in San Antonio in the Southwest Regional Championship. 

The team of 10-12 year olds is coached by Damion "Domino" Henson, Mavis Williams, Tony Dallas, Dave Pederson, Marcus Turner, Kent Miller, Miguel Gobert and David Bright.  The team wishes to thank the following sponsors for their continued support: Orange Savings Bank, The Salvation Army, BASF, SABINA, Granger Chevrolet Sales Team, DuPont, Dennis Huntley- Farmers Insurance Group, Bobby and Susan Swan and Tony Dallas Insurance Agency.

There are only two things holding the Longhorns back from attending the Championship week in Orlando, where they will face teams from cross the nation-- 1) A win this weekend in San Antonio and 2) money!  The team has held numerous fundraisers- concession stands, IPAD raffle, t-shirt sales, business and parent donations, etc.  However, the majority of this money has been used for field usage, referees and travel to various locations in Texas.

The kids are doing their part by playing hard on the field and in the classroom, now they are asking for your support in sending them to Orlando. They are asking for a pledge donation. Money is only collected upon the team qualifying to attend the Pop Warner Super Bowl in Florida. If you would like more information on becoming a pledge, please email [email protected] or [email protected] and put in the subject line: "I Want to Pledge" and you will be contacted by a Longhorn volunteer.  Or, you may donate directly to the account at ORANGE SAVINGS BANK, Account number 1342906.  Pop Warner is a non-profit organization.

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for these kids, please support the Longhorns!
