All Blacks Crusaders NFL Superbowl

Approximately two years ago, two organizations, known as the ‘All Blacks’ and the ‘Crusaders’, collaborated and united as one to form the ohana-oriented organization currently known as the ALL Blacks Crusaders.

Two sets of coaches joined as one; collaborated; brainstormed; and learned tremendously from each other. This new partnership effortlessly gave birth to our Organization & Team Mission: ‘To Develop our Young Island Athletes in a game we Love, through hard work, persistence, & humility while learning the intricacies and various layouts of the game --- Football.’ Ironically, through this transition, a unique and resilient bond took form between the Coaches, Players, & Families who proudly call themselves – the ‘ABC Ohana’.

Within our ABC Ohana, we have 6U, 8U,10U and 12U Teams. And within each age division, we have at least 2-3 teams totaling about 12-14 All Blacks Crusaders Teams within this tiny, humble and proud ABC Ohana and Organization.

From the various ABC Team within our Organization, is our 10U REDS. This team consists of nine young gentlemen ages 8-10 from various backgrounds, and armed with hard working parents and grounded in God! These Boys just returned from Arizona on 12/13/2015 after winning ‘The Arizona Cardinals NFL Regional 2015 Championship’ for the 10U Division. Swept through 8 games back to back, overcame a few challenges thrown their way, and won them all!

The Goal was always the NFL Nationals in San Francisco. The Boys worked hard, put in endless hours at practice, always hungry for self-improvement and persevered! They have the best coaches – all of them Proud Daddies themselves; hard working, passionate, nurturing, giving of their free time during weekly practices, standing long hours on sidelines calling out Plays, and coaching every single player on the team as if their own. We consider them Winners already!

To this, the Parents & Friends of our All Blacks Crusaders 10U RED Team humbly ask your help with any monetary amount you are able to contribute. We understand it’s the CHRISTmas season and everyone needs and could use a little or a lot of everything. But we are also appealing from a ‘Season of Giving’ and hopeful of your support!

As mentioned earlier, our Team just returned from the Arizona Cardinals Regional 2015 last night (12/13/15). With very little time to spare, to generate funds for everything from airfare, hotels, appropriate football gears (because San Francisco will be freezing and we have our boy’s health to worry about), to our Team uniforms., we are scheduled to travel towards the end of January for a week to attend the NFL National Tournament in San Francisco. It is an opportunity of a lifetime for our boys. We are estimating that the cost for each player is about $1000 considering the tournament coincides with the big hype of Super Bowl 2016.

Any amount will be greatly appreciated! On behalf of our 10U Reds Boys and our ABC Ohana, MAHALO, THANK YOU, FA’AFETAI TELE LAVA, AND THANK YOU!!!!

God Bless,

Friends & Families of the All Blacks Crusaders 10U RED Team
