  • Letter to School Officials
    Dear School Officials, Grassroot Soccer is fighting to save the lives of children in Africa, and we need the help of your students and community! Grassroot Soccer (GRS) is an international nonprofit (Federal Tax I.D. # 43-1957920) that uses the power of soccer to prevent the spread of AIDS and save lives among those with the highest rates of new infections—youth in Africa. GRS mobilizes the most vulnerable population of youth, ages 12 – 19, to break the cycle of AIDS by engaging local coaches who equip young people with the knowledge, skills and support they need to avoid HIV. Grassroot Soccer’s founders – Ethan Zohn (Winner, Survivor: Africa), Methembe Ndlovu (former Captain, Zimbabwe National Team), Kirk Friedrich and I, Dr. Tommy Clark – all have strong ties to Africa forged while playing professional soccer together in Zimbabwe. We all had close friends infected with HIV, and many others who died of AIDS. But we also understood how dominant soccer was in the culture. This inspired us to empower the most influential community role models, our soccer teammates, to teach children about HIV transmission and prevention and developing healthy life skills. In 2006, high school and college students began organizing Grassroot Soccer 3v3 Tournaments to benefit our organization. This became an incredible awareness and fundraising platform that has raised more than $350,000 for GRS. It has also given students the opportunity to learn more about the global HIV/AIDS epidemic and has empowered them to get personally involved. Please visit www.grassrootsoccer.org/host-a-tournament to learn more about these tournaments and our fight to eliminate HIV/AIDS in Africa through soccer.

  • 2018 Annual Report
    Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC) Annual Report Fiscal Year 2018 October 1, 2017 – September 30, 2018 A. Background Public Law 108-15, approved on April 23, 2003, established the CCAC to advise the Secretary of the Treasury on themes and design proposals relating to circulating coinage, commemorative coinage, bullion coinage, Congressional Gold Medals, and national medals. This report presents the CCAC’s recommendations for commemorative coinage in each of the next five calendar years, and summarizes the CCAC’s activities during fiscal year 2018. B. CCAC Recommendations 1. General Recommendations The CCAC encourages the highest standards of artistic excellence for America’s coins and medals. The CCAC recognizes the importance of the nation’s coinage, not only in facilitating the needs of commerce, but also as an artistic medium to recognize the significant achievements of the nation and its people, to honor great national leaders of the past, and to illustrate the foundational values of the republic. With recognition toward these goals, the CCAC serves as a resource in the review and development of proposals for circulating coinage and circulating commemoratives, and through providing recommendations on commemorative programs and medals. 2. Circulating Commemoratives Since the beginning of the 50 State Quarters® Program in 1999, the nation’s pocket change has been augmented with an assortment of new circulating commemorative coins. These coins have been generated through not only the 50 State Quarters® Program but also the Westward Journey Nickel Series™, Presidential $1 Coin Program, Lincoln Bicentennial One- Cent Program, District of Columbia and U.S. Territories Quarters Program, Native American $1 Coin Program and, most recently, the America the Beautiful Quarters™ Program.
