The Plainview JHawk Pony Football Team will be playing a special fundraiser game against the Farmingdale Titans Pony Football Team (both teams are comprised of (10-11 year old boys).
Many of you have read over the past few weeks that a few unfortunate events have transpired in Farmingdale. On Sunday November 15th Bryan Enriquez (a 14 year old Farmingdale High School student) was killed
crossing the road on his way home. He was a member of the High School Band.
On the same day a food pantry run by Hope For the Future Ministries which provides food/clothing to the less fortunate (also located in Farmingdale) burned down.
We’re asking each person who attends this game to donate $5 (or whatever you can afford to give) which will go towards both causes (and if possible bring a can of food or a gift for a child for the holidays which will go directly to Hope For the Future).
If you're not doing anything on Sunday 12/6 please join us and enjoy the game which is being played for two very worthy causes.
