Chester City United Project Needs your support

Chester City United along with the help of the Philadelphia Union, is participating in this year's Pepsi Refresh Project.  If we win we will receive a $50,000 grant that will be used to build a soccer field in Chester. 

Currently, we have one small field that supports our program of more than 300 children.  This September marks our first season as a travel club team and we are forced to be an "away only" team; meaning all of our games will be played outside of Chester.  With the $50,000 grant we would be able to build a home field and reduce the impact of traveling on our parents.  It will also give us a place to call home.  We already have the location picked out and we have done the research.  The grant would be more than enough for us to create a playable field.  To aid in our objective, I am asking that each one of you vote using the link below:

You can vote up to 25 times a day on one IP address.  Furthermore, I ask that you forward this email to everyone who may be interested in supporting our efforts.  The contest runs until September 20th.  We appreciate your support and efforts.

  1. You got my few votes per day until this is over. The youth of the city really need access to opportunities like this that kids in other communities get without special funding.
