Blair E. Batson Hospital for Children Fundraiser 

Demmin

I am having a fundraising event for the Blair E. Batson Hospital for Children in Jackson, MS.  I would like to bring the soccer community in Jackson as well as throughout the entire state of MS together in order to help raise money for the children’s hospital.  100% of the money raised will be donated to the Blair E. Batson Hospital for Children.

Description of the Event.

I am going to have a juggling competition. The State of MS vs Me.  Every soccer player on every recreational and/or select team would have one try to juggle as many as he or she can.  The individual juggle from all participants would be tallied and it would be my challenge to beat the combined total.  This amount could easily add up to over one hundred thousand juggles. If that proves to be the case, it would take me more than 12 hours of nonstop juggling to surpass that number.  I will take only one try in an attempt to beat the combined total of everyone on May 1st 2010.  Each participant would be asked to donate $5.   As I mentioned above every dollar from this event will be donated to the Blair E. Batson Hospital for Children.

As an added incentive I would also like to attempt to beat the combined juggles of the parents that have a child on the teams.  Parents on each team could try to beat their kids’ combined juggling score.  Each parent would be expected to donate $5 (or more) in order to compete.  My goal would be to beat both the amount of the combined juggle of the kids and the parents as well as the Guinness Book of World Records Time for juggling, (which is 24 hours). You might say, “Dwyane is crazy” how can he eat, drink, use the bathroom or even sleep?  I have heard it all.   And I must agree:  Maybe I am a little crazy.

This will definitely be the most difficult, tiring, challenging task I have ever attempted.  I will have to concentrate for every second, every minute and every hour that I last.  But I think it would be an amazing and interesting challenge; one that I feel up to !!

In addition to the juggling event, I will also be hosting a 3v3 soccer tournament for kids and adults of all ages.

So please help me make this a fun, exciting and spectacular event for everyone involved, especially for the children that need the Blair E. Batson Hospital for their survival.

Thank you for your consideration,

Dwyane Demmin
