Goals 4 Ghana is pleased to invite you to our “Drive for 2,500.” We have done some tremendous work this year raising new and used soccer equipment for children of need in Ghana. Now we are looking to raise $2,500 to ship this equipment to Ghana. We would like to kick off this drive with a “Drive for 2,500” members on our Facebook page. All of you have been so great to join our group to help support our cause. We are hoping that this event will raise more awareness to the Goals 4 Ghana organization.

We are asking that for at least one (1), 24-hour period between now and December 25th, that you donate your facebook status as part of this drive. If you would like to take part, please post the following message to your status with a link to our facebook group:

“Everyday in Ghana, children use the game of soccer as an escape from the realities of hunger, disease, and poverty. Goals 4 Ghana provides these kids with soccer equipment to help make their lives better. If you support our cause, please join our Facebook group and post this message in your profile.”
