Community raising funds for Jake Gibbs' memorial, Futsal tourney Dec. 18-19

Silent auction, too, deadline Friday to enter tournament

December 8, 2010

The Fairview Community is coming together to build a permanent memorial in memory of Jake Gibbs, an 8th grader at Fairview Middle who tragically passed away February 17, 2010 during soccer practice.

Jake touched many lives through his soccer endeavors, and his teammates decided to build a memorial in his honor. The memorial will take the form of soccer benches at the Fairview High soccer field to be used by the middle and high school for many years to come.
The target date to raise the $25,000 needed for this project is December 31, 2010.
A Fairview Futsal Tournament and Silent Auction is planned for Dec 18-19 to help raise funds.

Here are ways you can help:
• Participate in the tournament and/or silent auction. Visit fairviewsoccer.com/benchproject for more details. Tournament entries are due Friday, Dec. 10. Teams, singles and partial teams will be accepted.

• Donate items for the silent auction such as soccer/sports items, sports/concert tickets, certificates for dinner with a celebrity, frequent flyer miles, airline tickets, hotel stays, music memorabilia, gift certificates for services, restaurants, shopping, and individual items to buy for Christmas gifts.

• Simply donate money: Make checks payable to FMS with "bench donation" in memo line. Or donate online at fairviewsoccer.com/benchproject.
