The 2012 Annual Fund Campaign for the Richmond Strikers kicked off this November and will help continue in a tradition started over 30 years ago by a group of enthusiastic and committed parents. Through countless volunteer hours, planning and financial support, these founding “soccer moms and dads” started the Strikers, built our infrastructure and set us on the path to becoming one of the top youth soccer clubs in the United States!
It is our hope that today’s Striker families will continue to help us ensure our future is bright and that the Strikers can continue to provide our area’s children and their families with the best fields, soccer programming and opportunities to learn and expand through the game of soccer.
Your contribution to our 2012 Annual Fund Campaign will enable us to make needed improvements in our fields and facilities, as well as continue our long tradition of ensuring that every child who wants to play soccer with the Strikers can do so regardless of economic circumstance. No gift is too small. Together, we can make a huge difference for our club!
