The BVNW Girls Soccer team set a fundraising goal of $900 for the Global Orphan project to purchase new school uniforms for students in Malawi, Africa. They collected $741 at the Charity Night game and an additional $633 in online donations combined for a total of $1,374 in funds raised. Those funds raised purchase over 90 school uniforms which also means over 90 student lives positively impacted! The team will be presenting the proceeds of the fundraiser to Bazwell, a former graduate of that school in Malawi, at the BVNW Girls Varsity Soccer game this Thursday night (4/29). The BVNW Girls Soccer Team wants to thank all of the BVNW community who donated generously and helped make this possible.
