🌟 Join Us in Creating Change &mdash; One Soccer Ball at a Time! 🌟 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;At Northwestern Youth Soccer, we believe a big impact starts with our amazing families and athletes. That&rsquo;s why we&rsquo;re excited to launch our &ldquo;Black Out My Soccer Ball&rdquo; Fundraiser! It&rsquo;s a fun way for athletes to build confidence, learn teamwork, and help support their league!<p fr-original-style="box-sizing: inherit; max-width: 100%; color: rgb(93, 14, 14); width: 381px; margin-inline: 0px !important; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: 0.25px; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; margin: 0px; line-height: 1.5;" style="box-sizing: inherit; max-width: 100%; color: rgb(93, 14, 14); width: 381px; font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: 0.25px; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; line-height: 1.5; margin-inline: 0px !important; margin: 0px;"> ✨ How It Works: Each athlete&rsquo;s main goal is to completely black out their primary soccer ball by finding donors for every amount listed. Once the ball is &quot;fully blacked out&quot; or the amount to cover the primary ball is raised [$450.00], the athlete earns one entry into the cash prize raffle as a thank-you for their hard-work and commitment. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;After the primary ball is completed, participants may continue collecting support using the additional $100 bonus balls. Each additional bonus ball earns an extra entry into the raffle. There is no limit to the number of bonus balls a participant may receive, and athletes are always encouraged to continue raising funds to help strengthen the League and support their team. ✨How to Donate Through the Zeffy Online Portal<ol data-end="1296" data-start="128" fr-original-style="" style="width: 100%; box-sizing: inherit;"><li data-end="278" data-start="128" fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Selecting Your Donation Amount:&nbsp; Choose one of the suggested donation amounts or enter a custom amount of your choice.
