Help OCSI Attend The 2023 FAR EAST Volleyball Tournament
- October 4 Update: Thank you once again to everyone that kindly donated to support our OCSI Girls Volleyball Team. We had originally planned to run this fundraiser until October 8th but thanks to your generosity, and that of local donations, we raised enough to cover the airfare and lodging for our coaches and athletes to travel to the tournament. Therefore we will end this fundraiser today. Now it's up to our girls to take it to the competition.
- October 1 Update: Thank you so much to everyone that has graciously donated. With your amazing help we have raised $1390 in less than one week! This is a tremendous help for our coaches and athletes as we prepare to purchase plane tickets. Locally we are still fundraising (the bake sales and car washes continue) and this gofundme will stay open until October 8th.
I have had a few people ask me if they can share the link for this fundraiser and by all means, YES, please share it.
Thank You,
The Simmers Family and the OCSI Girls Volleyball Team
----------------------------------------------
Aubrey is a senior volleyball player at Okinawa Christian School International (OCSI) and for the first time in more four years the OCSI Volleyball Team will have the opportunity to compete in the DODEA Far East Volleyball Tournament.
Ten teams from Okinawa, mainland Japan, Guam and Korea will battle it out at Yokota Air Base on October 23 - 25 to determine who is the Far East Champs.
Win or lose this is an amazing opportunity for these high school athletes that does not come around every year and it will certainly be the highlight of their high school athletic experience.
The event is hosted by DODEA (Department of Defense Education Activity), which administers elementary through high school on US Military Bases. The DODEA Far East administration is gracious enough to invite OCSI and several other private international schools in the Pacific Theater to compete in this tournament.
Locally the athletes, coaches, and parents have been raising money with bake sales, raffles, and the tried and true car wash. But we could still use a little boost.
We’d like to ask for your support to help fund this trip from Okinawa to Tokyo for our two coaches and nine players.
Estimated cost is $450 per person ($4050 total).
Every penny raised goes directly to funding the travels costs for the two coaches and nine players only. Any and all donations are greatly appreciated.
Donations end on October 8, 2023.
Thank you for your support!
