COURAGE FOR LIFE FOUNDATION
The Freedom Lil' Bulldogs Football Organization has enjoyed terrific success over the years in collecting and donating money to various charitable organizations. Through 2009, we as an organization have raised over $95,000.
Beginning in 2009, it was decided that it would be more fitting to donate to a worthy cause more close to home, to support the mission and goal of one of our own, John Challis.
John, a former Lil' Bulldog player, was diagnosed with cancer in June 2006 at the age of 16 and lost his hard fought battle on August 19, 2008 at the age of 18. John's wonderful courage and outlook on living life to the fullest was, and is, an inspiration to many and touched people worldwide. Before his passing, John helped establish the Courage For Life Foundation which provides life encouraging sporting experiences and community support for high school athletes with life threatening illnesses.
The Freedom Lil' Bulldogs Football Organization will designate a game each season as the Courage For Life Foundation game where all players and cheerleaders will collect donations leading up to the game, and where our organization will donate the proceeds from the game for this worthy cause.
In 2009, the game on September 26th versus Monaca was the Courage For Life game in which $6,000 was raised in support of John's vision. The Monaca Lil' Indians Organization also generously accepted to collect donations as well and to help in any way possible at the game. Thank you to the entire Monaca organization!
