Want to join me in making a difference? We're raising money to give local children the opportunity of a lifetime. Billingham Juniors U13's have been invited to attend the prestigious Maryville University Elite Soccer Camp in Tennessee USA, and the only way for these children to take advantage of this opportunity is by fundraising the money themselves.

Due to this the players have committed to walking and running the 6365 Km in the aim to raise the funds to travel the distance between Billingham and Tennessee.

This opportunity has only been made available due to the good will of a previous Billingham resident Jon Baker, who left Billingham to chase his football dream in America through Soccer USA, Jon now heads up one of the programmes at the college, but has never forgot his roots and is now looking to give back to the Billingham community by offer 20 young men the opportunity that was once afforded to him.

Your donations will help cover the cost of the players flights, insurance, transport and kit for the trip. Without your help the team risks losing their opportunity.
