The 2012 ColSA/Beyond the Wall Soccer Tournament is around the corner!  We have been preparing for this event since late August, when the ColSA/Beyond the Wall alliance was made official for the 2012-2013 school year at the University of Central Florida (UCF).

• The winning team will get tickets to an Orlando City Soccer soccer game for the upcoming season.
• Our official DJ will be Stewart Vargas-Sosa, who supported us during the soccer tournament last year.
• Vittorio's Brazilian Restaurant will provide us with the food.
• The registration will be completed online; players can visit www.TinyURL.com/ColSASoccer to officially sign up.  
• The promotion of the event includes the participation of Diana Raquel Cordero of Orlando's Salsa 98.1 FM, journalist Daniela Torres of El Sentinel, and the support of Keith Landry of FOX 35 Orlando.  Other than the media, the event will also be promoted at the main campus of the University of Central Florida.

I'd like to thank ColSA-UCF for the unconditional support during the preparation of this important event. The purpose is to collect funds to pay for shipping of the donations to Colombia. I also want to thank all who have supported this event, such as Daniela Torres, Diana Raquel Cordero, Keith Landry, Kay Rawlins of Orlando City Soccer, Stewart Vargas-Sosa, Vittorio's, and of course, all those that will play this Saturday!

I invite you to follow me on Facebook (Beyond the Wall Campaign-Colombia) and through Twitter (@BeyondTheWallCO).
