CTCTen Organization

On our trip across the country we are going to be spreading the word about CTCTen and about the work that it is doing in conjunction with our school, F&M.

Please take a look at this foundation and see if you can help make a difference in the world... anything you can do is much appreciated...

Mission:

The CTCTen Foundation in conjunction with the Franklin & Marshall Men’s Soccer Team has begun a unique project to help effect change in the world. Partnering with the GrassRoot Soccer organization,the foundation has targeted a specific disadvantaged, HIV/AIDS impacted region to help.

The Soccer Africa Field Project aspires to create the Chris Campbell Memorial Facility in Khayelitsha, South Africa. The field would be a haven for impoverished children that will also have a clubhouse which will be used for HIV/AIDS education classes. An annual internship will be created for an F&M soccer student athlete to spend a year in Khayelistha teaching soccer and encouraging HIV/AIDS preventive behaviors at the facility.

The CTC Ten Foundation, in conjunction with the F&M Team, families and alumni and are doing all they can to make the athletic and educational facility and internship a reality. It is through the generous support of everyone in the community that this vision will become a reality.

Homecoming Event

The bikers were in Charlottesville, Virginia last night and met a wonderful couple who was letting them sleep in their yard. Now that they are off the Transamerica Bike route, they are winging their way towards Delaware. They assure me they are still on schedule and plan to arrive in Jobstown, NJ on Monday, Aug 4th, early evening.
A homecoming welcome celebration is set for Monday at The Pigott's (Dan & Kara's home), 151 Springfield Meetinghouse Rd., Jobstown, NJ. As of now we have local newspapers and Philly TV stations, fox29 and CBS3, covering the homecoming. The local police will also help out with an escort through town.
All are welcome to cheer them home. They are planning a 6pm (approximate) arrival.
