The Brownwood Area Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) will host a FCA Challenge Fundraiser on October 10th to coincide with the District 3-3A football game between the Brady Bulldogs and the Early Longhorns at Longhorn Stadium in Early. The FCA Challenge will be repeated in 2015 in Brady at Bulldog Stadium.
The purpose of the FCA Challenge Fundraiser is to raise funds for the respective schools’ huddle (meeting groups) to send students to leadership camp and for huddle needs such as Bibles, snacks, drinks, and other necessary items. This fun competition is to create a positive bond between each school and community as athletes compete on the field and spectators donate in the stands.
Each school will have donation containers and designate local FCA students, with adult supervision, to take donations at the gate and concession stand through first half. Proceeds are to be counted and PA announcements to be made on the amount of funds donated at the end of the first quarter, middle of the second quarter and at halftime for a competition between communities.The school attaining the most funds wins the FCA Challenge and will take home the FCA Challenge Trophy. The members of the football teams will join in a student led prayer at the 50 yard line at the conclusion of the game.
