CASL and RailHawks Team Up for Haiti Relief

Posted by Hal Goodtree Non Profit Thursday, February 4th, 2010

Cary, NC – The Carolina RailHawks and CASL, the Capitol Area Soccer League, have teamed up to raise money for emergency relief in the aftermath of the big earthquake in Haiti.

$25,000 GETS THE BALL ROLLING

The joint effort started with a $25,000 donation from the Spread Your Wings foundation, an initiative of the RailHawks to promote education, health and fitness for underprivileged while providing positive role models in the community.

“The people of Haiti have suffered a horrific tragedy,” said RailHawks President Brian Wellman. “CASL and the RailHawks are very focused community minded organizations, and in times such as this it is our responsibility to help as much as possible.”

CLINIC POSTPONED

CASL and the RailHawks had been planning a soccer clinic to help raise money for Haitian relief. The clinic had been scheduled for Saturday, February 6 but was postponed due to the snow.

Stay tuned to CaryCitizen for an announcement about the rescheduled date.

“I think it’s great the RailHawks will offer this clinic to kids and that all the proceeds will go to the American Red Cross through CASL’s collection process,” said CASL CEO Charlie Slagle. “I recommend that everyone take advantage if at all possible.”

Anyone interested in participating should contact the Carolina RailHawks front office at 919-859-5425.
