The photos below were taken recently in Haiti. These children are the recipients of the soccer balls and equipment we collected at the 2007 George Pratt Tournament. Thanks everyone!


We are happy to announce that this year there will be a table at the Goshen, Lower, Dennis and Novsack field sites where wristbands will be sold to benefit Food for the Poor, www.foodforthepoor.org. We will also be collecting used balls, soccer equipment and uniforms and sending them to Haiti. Please encourage your player’s families to find our tables and contribute by purchasing wristbands as well as donating equipment. Thanks.

Details of our specific involvement with Food for the Poor follows:

Cape May County is not just a location on the map of New Jersey. Cape May County is also the name of a small village being built in Bord de Mer, Haiti.

Haiti is the poorest country in our hemisphere, with an 80% unemployment rate.  Almost half the population has never learned to read or write. Many children do not live to be 5 years old, due to lack of food and clean water. Most families live in unsafe huts, made of sticks and mud, with dirt floors.

By sharing our blessings, Cape May County will build thirteen small but sturdy houses through Food for the Poor, the 3rd largest international charity in the US. FFP has a 4 star rating with 96% percent of all donations going directly to projects.

Cape Express Soccer Club is joining efforts with others in Cape May County and our tournament guests to give new homes and hope to destitute families in Haiti. Together, we can make it happen!
