UNION players meet children from Amigos de Jesus

Josue (11), Jonatan (14), Jonny (11) and Nahun (18) were chosen to visit the United States along with Amigos' Directors of Operations, Amy & Wilson Escoto, from September 14th to the 21st.  During their stay we visited many of our friends and benefactors but we also got a chance to have a little fun.  Knowing how much the boys love soccer, I reached out to Rob Smith, VP of Soccer Development & Relations for the UNION.  He graciously offered to host the boys at the stadium in Chester, PA and give them a private tour of the facilities.  The boys had a wonderful time and even got to meet some of the players.  Rob and the team were gracious and kind in sharing an afternoon with our children and giving them a once in a lifetime opportunity to see a professional stadium and team first hand.  Our many thanks to Rob and the UNION!   

Community Dollars Fundraiser

Amigos de Jesus is participating again this year in a great fundraiser that requires nothing more than for you to shop!  The Whiteland Towne Center, in Exton, PA, is hosting an event to raise money for local charities.  Every time you shop at one of the participating stores, you are eligible to receive $1 in community dollar vouchers for each $1 you spend.  For example, if you spend $35 at Dress Barn and ask for the “community dollars”, you will receive a $35 Community Dollar voucher.  You must request your community dollars at the point of sale and turn them into Amigos de Jesus by November 6, 2011.  The charity that collects the most vouchers wins the top prize of $1,000.00.  Please see the list of participating stores below and contact Emily Ford at 610-644-8237 or emily@amigosdejesus.org for more information.  Thank you!
