Dear Neighbors and Friends,
On June 13th, our local fields will be buzzing with excitement as we host our Annual Youth Soccer Jamboree! This is one of our favorite days of the year, where hundreds of young athletes (ages 4–11) from Big Lake, Becker, Monticello, and Annandale come together for a day of soccer, community, and fun. Between the in-house tournament, local food trucks, and face painting, it’s a celebration of our local youth and the sport we love.
How You Can Help At Great River Soccer Assossation, our mission is to keep youth sports effective, local, and affordable for every family. To reach this goal, we are hosting a Silent Auction during the Jamboree, and we are inviting our community to join us in making it a success.
We are currently looking for donations of:
Gift Cards (Restaurants, coffee shops, movie theaters)
New Items (Sports gear, electronics, outdoor games, gift baskets)
Services (Lesson vouchers, photography sessions, lawn care, etc.)
Themed Baskets (Family movie night, "Summer Fun," or local town-themed baskets)
Why Your Donation Matters Every dollar raised at the Silent Auction goes directly back into our program. These funds allow us to provide scholarships for players who need financial assistance and keep registration fees low for all families across our four communities.
Ready to contribute?
If you have an item or service you’d like to donate, please reach out to us at [email protected]
or drop off your donation at Soccer facility by June 1st.
Even if you can’t donate an item, we’d love to see you at the Jamboree! Come grab some food, cheer on the kids, and help us keep the game alive for the next generation of players.
Thank you for being such a supportive community!
Warmly,
Emily Barthel
