     Dear Families and Friends of the Madison 56ers,

It has been a tumultuous year for many of our player families. And while we are all concerned about the economic forecast ahead, we assure you that our Madison 56er teams and club are in good standing, with dedicated coaches and committed players from U11 to U18.

But to ensure that our coaches always have the chance to bring the area’s best players to the soccer pitch, we encourage those of you who are able to contribute to our Madison 56er Scholarship Fund. Every measure of your support, large or small, will be greatly appreciated by players of all ages, whose opportunity to continue to play soccer competitively might not otherwise be realized. Your gift to our 501c (3) non-profit organization is also tax deductible, and we will send you a receipt for your records and a heartfelt thank-you.

Sending a gift to the Madison 56ers Scholarship Fund will help our club share your family’s love of soccer with others who are equally as passionate about the greatest of team sports.

With much appreciation and on behalf of the entire Madison 56ers Soccer Club, its Coaches and Staff, as well as members of the Board of Directors, I thank you and wish you the very best for 2009.
