NORWICH – A final fundraiser is set for this weekend in the hopes enough will be raised for the team to buy jackets and to donate to local food pantries.

On Sunday, Sept. 6, 2015 from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. the Norwich Boys’ Soccer team will feature their final fundraising event with Smokin' Bones BBQ. This fundraiser will help raise money for the team as well as give back to the community.

“It is our last money raiser to help fund soccer gear and our end of year banquet. We also give part of our profit to Dollars for Scholars scholarship. In addition we help fund our local food pantries. We need our community to help us help others,” said Gloria Scottie Decker, Head Coach of the Norwich Varsity boys’ soccer team.

When Decker took over as the boys soccer head coach she immediately expressed her desire to help this group of kids succeed in every way possible on and off the field.

“It was an idea I had, they had nothing when I inherited the team three years ago, no boosters club, no way to get money, so we have had to go into the community and get the money ourselves. This year we hope to raise enough money to buy jackets for the team, and in the future we might even be able to help fund our junior varsity team,” said Decker.

Prices for the fundraiser are as follows:
