SCCSA
contributes $10,000 to Unionville Sports Council's Field Campaign
Southern
Chester County Soccer
Association (SCCSA) has donated $10,000 to the
Unionville Sports
Council campaign to build a synthetic surface on the Unionville
Stadium Field.
SCCSA is the area's
leading youth organization, with over 1300 soccer players and 100 teams
playing on fields in the Fall & Spring throughout Southern Chester County.
The SCCSA is an advocate
of keeping kids active, and is an important partner of all the area school
districts.
SCCSA is currently
working with both the
Unionville
School District
and the
Kennett
School District
on long term field rental agreement proposals in order to assist with
future debt service of field installations.
"We are appreciative of
the Southern Chester County Soccer Association's donation," says Joe
Carney, President of the USC. "The important message of this contribution
is that it came unsolicited. The SCCSA has recognized the need to have
better fields in the
Unionville
School District,
and understand how this synthetic surface can allow more kids to play not
only soccer, but also football, field hockey, and lacrosse. They made the
donation for all the kids in the area."
SCCSA will be recognized
on the Field's proposed Entrance Wall of 30 Major Donors, and will join
Exelon Generation, and others as important contributors.
"We are pleased to make
the contribution to the Unionville Sports Council," says Michael Finnegan,
President of the SCSSA. "As a non-profit organization, it is unusual for
us to make a contribution of this type, but the Sports Council has made
extraordinary efforts to highlight the needs in the
Unionville
School District
for better fields, and we wanted to support their continuing efforts.
Their research and promotion of the importance of private support of
public education is remarkable. We invite all community members and youth
organizations who share our belief in the importance of physical activity
for kids, to also contribute to the Sports Council's efforts."
