Help the Friends of Oakland Parks
Raimondi Lighted Artificial Turf Field Project
Donate today to Raimondi Fields Artificial Turf and Sports Lights Renovation to help build a new, lighted, maintenance free artificial turf soccer field. Construction is to begin Sept. 2007 and additional funds are needed to light the second field. Donate online at <http://www.oaklandparks.org>
Scroll down to the Raimondi Park area to make your donation and note sports lights for soccer fields. Or make a check payable to Friends of Oakland Parks and Recreation and send to P.O. Box 13267, Oakland, CA 94661. Please note Raimondi Park sports lights for soccer fields on the memo line of the check.
In addition to your own donations to the Raimondi lighted artificial turf project, we are hoping you will take the time to write a letter soliciting donations for a second set of lights for Raimondi Fields to your employer, a potential corporate donor, or an Oakland business that might want to improve youth sports and programs in Oakland.
Donations should be made to Friends of Oakland Parks and Recreation, the non-profit organization that has spearheaded this project. Oakland youth need more and better sports fields. This is our opportunity to show our kids that we care. Help Friends of Oakland Parks and Rec build this beautiful new facility now! Your own donation to Friends of Oakland Parks and Rec will go a long way to hasten Raimondi's completion. Please donate today. And please find a corporate and business donor, too.

An open letter to the Jack London Soccer Community
Our league receives too many serious incident reports describing instances of too-rough play and verbal abuse (player to player, players and parents to referees, and even parents to parents). I define “too many” as one or more. Sadly, we are imperfect. ...read more......en español ...
