Campaign Story
THANK YOU for visiting our Young Lions Go Get funding page.
We are the Singapore Mens Under 20s Touch Football Team, and are incredibly proud to have been selected to represent Singapore at the upcoming Youth Touch World Cup in Malaysia in August 2018. Last conducted in 2005, the Youth Touch World Cup provides a pathway to Open representation for the young elite of our sport.
Following a competitive series of selections at the end of 2017, we have come together from our different Clubs, Schools, and Family homes across Singapore to train & play as The Young Lions. Our passion for Touch has brought us together, and together as a team we want to fulfil our goal to represent our country.
WHY "Go Get Funding?"
Participation at the Youth Touch World Cup is entirely player funded, and costs to participate are high, at approximately $2,000 per player (SGD). Due to the these high participation costs we are looking for ANY financial support to help us achieve our World Cup dream that we have trained so hard for.
We are all incredibly grateful for all & any donations to help reduce the financial burden.
HOW WILL YOUR KIND DONATION HELP?
Your kind donation will assist with our major expenses:
1) Travel and Accommodation.
2) Entry fee and uniform.
3) F&B, Equipment & medical needs.
