September 2010 Pinoy Football Aid has become a Association

From its humble beginning Pinoy Footaball Aid has grown and became an Incorporated Association. Fantastic achievement and is far more than what I ever ever expected when I began this program.
I will give you a bit of a detail on how this came about:
For the last 2 years I was trying to get a junior Filipino team to come and play football in the Kanga Cup. I did try to organise that with Manfred Schuwerk in Lapu Lapu, Cebu but he could not get sponsorship funds to cover the plane tickets so the idea kind of faded away. On the 10th of July straight after The Central Coast Mariners vs Canberra FC match I was having a beer and a little chat with Reg my good Filipino friend at the Club and "cried on his shoulder" and told him how much I would like to be able to bring one of Manfred's InterCebu FC Junior team to the Kanga Cup in the near future and how expensive it was pay for the airfares tickets etc. and I was looking for Ideas how to rise funds. So we bounced Ideas around to see what opportunities we could come up with and Reg said " Why don't we hold a Karaoke Competition, The Filipinos love Karaoke and that most likely will be a success" I got a huge smile on my face and said Yesssss that sound great...and that is how we proceeded to form a committee and Incorporate the Association.

Since we Incorporated set out the following fund raising activities for the next 9 month with all the proceeds to go towards covering the costs for a Filipino team to play in the 2011 Kanga Cup

Here are the activities we have Planned:

Bunning's Sausage Sizzle Stalls (as many we can get (dates TBA)

Christmas Stall at the Filippino Embassy (5th of December)

National Multicultural Festival stall (11-13 February

Karaoke Competition: 2 selection heats 19th and 26th of February and Final Show 5th of March 2011 held at Deakin Soccer Club)

Kanga cup 10-15 July 2011
