Empower the DC Stars: Invest in Youth

Dear DC Stars Supporters,

Help Send DC EthioStars to the ESFNA Tournament in Seattle!

The DC EthioStars are gearing up to represent our community at the 2025 ESFNA Tournament in Seattle! We’re asking for your support to help cover travel and food expenses for our players.

Your donation, big or small, will go a long way in helping our team compete at the highest level while proudly representing the Ethiopian community in the DMV.

Let’s get our team to Seattle—together.

We are reaching out to you with excitement and hope as we embark on an important journey to raise funds for our soccer team, DC Stars, to cover hotel and travel expenses. Your generous contributions will play a crucial role in the success and development of our team, and we want to share with you exactly why this fundraiser is so important to us.

1. Promoting Health and Fitness

Soccer is not just a game; it’s a fantastic way to promote physical health and fitness. Regular participation in soccer helps our players build strength, endurance, and agility while encouraging healthy lifestyle habits. By supporting our team, you are contributing to the overall well-being of our players.

2. Fostering Teamwork and Discipline

Being part of a soccer team teaches invaluable life skills such as teamwork, discipline, and perseverance. These lessons extend beyond the field, helping our players grow into well-rounded individuals. Your donation will support their journey towards becoming better teammates and leaders.

3. Providing Opportunities for Youth

Our team includes players from diverse backgrounds, many of whom may not have access to quality sports programs without financial assistance. Your contributions ensure that all players, regardless of their economic situation, have the opportunity to participate, learn, and excel.

4. Supporting Travel and Competition Costs

Competing in tournaments and matches often requires travel, which can be a significant financial burden. Your donations will help cover transportation, accommodation, and entry fees, allowing our team to compete at higher levels and gain invaluable experience.

6. Encouraging Community Engagement

Our soccer team is a source of pride and unity for our DC Habesha community. By supporting us, you are investing in a cause that brings people together, fosters community spirit, and provides positive role models for young athletes.

7. Building Dreams and Aspirations

For many of our players, soccer is more than just a sport; it’s a dream. It’s a path to college scholarships, professional opportunities, and personal growth. Your support helps keep these dreams alive and attainable.

We believe in the power of soccer to transform lives and bring communities together. With your help, we can ensure that our players have the resources they need to succeed both on and off the field. Please join us in making a lasting impact by donating to our soccer team. Your generosity will inspire and empower our athletes to achieve their full potential.

Thank you for your support and for being a vital part of our team’s journey.

Sincerely,

DC Stars
