  adults in the US
• It effects the pulmonary and digestive systems of
  those who have the disease
• Currently, there is no cure

What is the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation?

• The Foundation was created in 1955 with a mission
  of assuring the development of the means to cure
  and control cystic fibrosis (CF) and to improve
  the quality of life of those with the disease
• More than 91 cents of every dollar of revenue
  generated by the Foundation is invested in CF
  research, education, and care programs.
• Since the Foundations inception the average life
  span has increased more than 30 years.

What is Score for a Cure?

• Through a joint effort between Buffalo United
  Soccer Club and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation,
  Score for a Cure will enable your child(ren) to
  both become more educated about cystic fibrosis
  and to use their talents to give back to their
  community.
• The program will encourage players to collect
  donations to help support life-saving CF research
  and care.

How Does Score for a Cure Work?

• Each athlete that participates will be asked to
  obtain at least 3 sponsors
• These sponsors will have two options
• To give a flat donation
• To pledge an amount based on the number of goals
  the team scores for the season

How Score for a Cure Works, Cont.

• Your child will then turn their sponsor
  information in to the Score for a Cure volunteer
  on your team
• This volunteer will send each form they receive
  to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation
• At the end of the Upstate Premier League Season,
  the number of goals the team scores will be
  recorded and letters will be sent out from the
  Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to your sponsors

Then What?

• As the money is sent into the Foundation, thank
  you letters and tax deduction letters (for all
  donations over 50.00) will be sent from the
  Foundation

Incentives

• Aside of the opportunity to give back to the
  community, your child will be eligible for prizes
  based on how much they earn
• Each athlete who raises 100.00 will receive a
  BUSC/Cystic Fibrosis T-Shirt
• The Female/Male athletes who raise the most money
  will earn large prizes
• Other prizes to be determined
• The team who raises the most money will receive a
  pizza party

So What Do You Need to Do?

• All that your child has to do is get people to
  sponsor them. The more sponsors they enlist
  increase their chance of earning prizes
• After that
• Encourage your child to have fun, learn a lot and
  use the skills they are being taught by their
  coaches.the goals will follow!
