Hi, my name is Aiden Wallace I'm 13 yrs old & in 8th grade. I have had a passion for soccer since I started playing at 4 yrs old. I'm a Goal Keeper playing on the XL Lazio indoor soccer team in Apex, NC this season. When I heard about an 11 yr old girl in Missouri who created a fundraiser called Soccer Saves for Down Syndrome I got excited about how I can use my passion for soccer to help others.
I've chosen to raise money and awareness for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) https://afsp.org/ . As we all know Suicide is a very sad and painful experience for everyone involved. However, suicide CAN BE PREVENTED with awareness and professional help. The reason I have chosen to raise money and awareness for AFSP is because I have friends who are battling mental health challenges and last year a 6th grade girl at my school in Missouri took her life. If I can help to save just 1 life it's worth it. In addition to money and awareness, I want to spread HOPE to those who may find themselves or a friend battling mental health challenges.
100% of donated money will be donated to AFSP and is fully tax deductible. Corporate/Business donations are welcome.
ABOUT AFSP:
AFSP is dedicated to saving lives and bringing hope to those affected by suicide. AFSP creates a culture that’s smart about mental health by engaging in the following core strategies:
- Funding scientific research
- Educating the public about mental health and suicide prevention
- Advocating for public policies in mental health and suicide prevention
- Supporting survivors of suicide loss and those affected by suicide in our mission
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
This season of indoor soccer has 8 games played on Sunday evenings starting Sun, Jan 6. through Sun, Feb 24.
There are 3 ways you can help me to help others:
1. Pledge a specific dollar amount PER GOAL SAVED. (during the last season that ended Dec. 23, I averaged 17 saves per game.) EX: A pledge of $.25 per save X 136 Saves = $34, a pledge of $1.00 per save X 136 Saves = $136 based on last season. This will be tracked by my dad and ONLY an actual play on the ball will be counted. Saves will be updated on here & social media weekly. (don't skip the fun by the fear of unknown, pledge amounts can be changed until the end of the season).
TO PLEDGE: post your pledge in the comments below or email your pledge/questions to SaveAGoalSaveALife@gmail.com
2. Donate a specific flat dollar amount.
If you prefer to donate directly to AFSP you can do so here https://afsp.org/take-action/give-a-gift/donate-to-afsp/ please post in the comments how much you donated so it can be counted towards this project.
3. Share this with all of your contacts, the more that see it the more we can spread awareness.
ANY & ALL $ amount helps & is welcome at anytime until March 15, 2019. 100% goes to AFSP.
Let's have some fun and SAVE LIVES!!
Thank you in advance for your support, together we can make a difference,
Aiden Wallace
