User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are a few ways that you can volunteer for Bobbi and the Strays - no matter your age. If you want to work directly witht he animals at either the Vetport or their Adoption Center at The Shops at Atlas Park - they usually want teenagers - even younger ones. But you can do other things to volunteer if you are younger. In fact a group of 4 year olds raise hundreds of dolalrs for Bobbi every year. So there are plenty of ways to volunteer at any age.

What is Storelli Sports?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Storelli Sports is a US-based soccer manufacturer started in 2010 by soccer players and coaches

It is unlike any other brand out there in that it:

-1) Focuses exclusively on soccer protective equipment - they believe that enough brands focus on fancy items like shoes and shirts, but there is not enough focus on producing high-performance, affordable protective gear that minimizes injuries and allows players to have fun and play at their best.

-2) They bring to soccer groundbreaking new technologies that have never been used in soccer before, namely:

a) Extreme impact protection through special foams that have amazing impact absorption capabilities. Check out this video for examples:

b) Shot absorption - they incorporate another special foam sourced from NASA that acts like memory foam and ABSORBS the shot. They use it in goalkeeper gloves and the chest of goalkeeper shirts, giving them very unique capabilities that help goalkeepers save and trap shots more easily

Check out this video for a set of experiments that test these properties:

c) Anti-bacterial / anti-odor properties- all of the foams used are treated to avoid the creation of bacteria. So the foams do not become smelly...making their gloves the first gloves not to smell (same for the apparel undergear)

-3) Finally, their products have a unique "look" - In addition to being functionally superior , our products feature a distinct, "edgy" look that sets them apart from the crowd

You can check them out at storellisoccer.com. Launch is planned for June-July 2011

Another route you might want to consider is setting up a homepage for your group on a fundraising website.

Raising support online is much simpler and more tidy than raising funds via cash or check (most sites can link donations straight to your bank account through a merchant processor). And having a group page gives you a central place to post information, photos and let people know what you do - this helps you promote your cause to friends, family and whoever else you want.

There are plenty of sites these days that help groups meet their goals - here are some good options:

First Giving (www.firstgiving.com) is a solid one. They charge about 5% on donations raised and have a simple structure to set up your page (though you may have to be a certified non-profit to register with them).

If that's the case, another option is Empowered (www.empowered.org). They process about 3.5% on donations raised, offer lots of tools to help organize/fundraise, and I know they support all small groups, regardless of non-profit status.

And you could always try to send up your own PayPal account to link to you directly, but this is a little trickier and a bit inflexible.

Good luck getting your fundraising going
