The first five months of 2012 have been very productive - fundraising, fundraising, fundraising! And we're done yet! We are currently working on our biggest fundraiser of the year - the annual "18 Holes for Nicole" golf tournament, to be held September 16th in the Washington, DC area. Please check back, frequently, for updates. Summertime always marks our annual scholarship presentation at RFK Stadium. This year's event will take place on August 4th, when we will announce this year's lucky scholarship recipients. So, until we meet again, we'll be working hard to continue to make dreams come true. Thank you for helping us "Make It Happen!" |

So much has already happened, this year, it's difficult to know where to begin! This year started off with another incredible journey to Haiti. Nicole was determined to do something good, for the children of the country, and I'm not going to give up on her dream! We were joined by several other non-profits (The Eddie Pope Foundation, Soccer in the Streets, The Haiti Initiative and Design Across Borders) who have all come together to establish the La Croix Youth Initiative. We have big plans & big dreams for the children of La Croix... stayed tuned for more! Here's a few of the photos, but you can see ALL of them on our facebook page! We've already had several fantastic fundraisers - Potomac Falls High School hosted their annual "Dodgeball for Nicole" tournament to help raise funds for future scholarship recipients. Every year, the Miami Copa Latina tournament has an All-Star game which is played in Nicole's memory. This year the all-stars played the NASL Fort Lauderdale Strikers - lots of excitement! The University of South Florida women's soccer team held their annual Charity Soccer Clinic & women's college games to help raise scholarship funds - it was another great event and everyone had a fantastic day! This is just the beginning. Next up... VCU women's soccer (in conjunction with VCU's Center for Sports Leadership) host the annual "Make It Happen" 5K Run, in Richmond, April 14th! Check out the link in the upper right corner to register! Looking forward to seeing everyone there! |

 The Nicole Megaloudis Foundation is proud to announce its partnership with the Eddie Pope Foundation for the 2012 LaCroix Youth Initiative, which begins this week. This project will be completed in three phases:
1) A US-based team will travel to Haiti (February 2012) to work with LaCroix Mission Staff and their youth to create curriculum, help strengthen their soccer programming, host a tournament & soccer festival and assist in completing and building their soccer field. 2) The Haitian staff will travel to the US for training and continued education which will include their attendance at the Urban Soccer Symposium National Conference and internship opportunities (Summer 2012). 3) The US-based team will travel back to Haiti (November 2012) for continued support, training, and the further development of a Youth Center. We are excited to be one of the partner organizations for this initiative, which also brings together a number of great organizations including Design Across Boundaries, Passing Hope, The Tony Sanneh Foundation and Soccer in the Streets. Nicole's dream was to help kids in Haiti; and we are working hard to make her dream become a reality. Her spirit lives on in everything we do as we continue to "Make It Happen!" |
