Description

D-Town Panthers is a 501 (c) (3) youth sports organization that provides mentoring and recreational football and cheer to students all across the DFW Metroplex.Our mission is to instill academic excellence, sportsmanship, and teamwork to todays youth while in a meaningful and safe environment. Our organization promotes responsibility, accountability fairness and equality to all of humanity. We strive to make these pillars to live by for the youth athlete to incorporate into there future as adults.

D-Town Panthers can only achieve our goals with the help of generous monetary and non monetary donations from supporters and community menmbers. With your support we can provide state of the art safetey equipment for our youth as well as good practice fields and game fields. We want a sense of security that our children are safe from harms way while having fun . Our staff has expended countless hours of their time and  personal resources but we have missed our mark. Which is why we are asking for a monetary donation. Our great city of Dallas Texas infrastructure is not youth friendly. there are no designated game day facilities for football(American) that youth teams can rent out. Our Parks and Recreation services have few suitable locations that would allow us to even provide the security that we want for our children. In the wake of last years tragedy on the field our organization desires to put our children in a stadium type facility were the spectators  are not on the same sideline or  in proximety to the athlete. As non profit organizations we have been forced to rent stadiums out from local high schools. The fees have been a challenge within themselves. A field of good quality with security barriers, custodial services and off duty officers is currently prices for 7 hours for all 4 teams to play, at about $275 per hour for 4-5 home games that each team must host comes to a grand total of 6k. That why we are soliciting the help of philantrophic enteties that will help us offset the cost. I fear that our season is in jeopardy because at this time we do not have the finaces to cover the stadium rental Which is why we are asking for a one time donation of 6k. This will allow us to cover the cost for this season and allow us to start  our fundraising efforts for next season.Without your support our August 26, 2023 opening day will be a wash. We have a very short window to secure funds and have facilities paid. our prompt response in this matter  would be appreciated greatlty.  I thank you in advance for taking the time to read my organizations concers and needs and I  ask that you would donate to help our youth. Any investors reading , this could be a great opportunity to meet the needs of the community in which you live in. Just as basketball players have done, by building community courts, I think that several football specific fields placed stratigically around our city would benifit the youth. and those who care so much about the development and safety of our future generations.
