Request financial aid for Kieron to Campaign
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Subject: Request for financial support of International Tour to USA for Kieron Valentine
(Under 19 Boys) – Departure date 13 March 2024
Dear Sir/Madam,
Over the past 23 years, the Ikapa United football team has been participating in the Annual International
Youth Football Tournament in Dallas, USA (sanctioned by FIFA).
Young talented soccer players from all over the Western Cape are selected annually to form part of this
development project, which does not only entails playing soccer, but also affords the players the opportunity
to form part of a diversity program (i.e. visiting schools to interact with learners and attending cultural events
organized by the host team in the USA). More than 180 teams from all over the world participate in this
annual tournament.
The project does not have a sponsor. The parents and organizing committee arrange for the majority of the
funding through fundraising and personal contributions. Most of the players hail from our more
disadvantaged areas.
Kieron Valentine has been selected to participate in this prestigious soccer tournament and we therefore
appeal to you to kindly consider sponsoring him in this once in a lifetime opportunity. The total cost
outstanding for the trip is R60 000, which is due urgently.
We ask you to support soccer development and to assist Kieron to make the most of this exceptional
opportunity to represent this country at the Dallas Cup.
For further details relating to the event, please contact the writer. We thank you for your time in this matter
and look forward to your positive response in this regard.
Kind regards
Richard Poole
Project Coordinator
