One League for Everyone (OLE) is a Redmond-based non-profit program under Lake Washington Youth Soccer Association. It provides financial assistance to low-income families served by LWYSA (Redmond and Kirkland) by covering all soccer fees, providing gently used soccer gear, and enabling families to attend practices with games. As part of this program OLE is extending its services to educate on health, nutrition, exercise, family skills such as parenting tips, internet safety tips, etc.
On Friday, January 25, 2013 OLE is hosting a Community Fitness Fair and Spring Soccer Registration from 6:00PM-8:00PM at Albert Einstein Elementary located at 18025 NE 116thStreet, Redmond, WA. The Community Fitness Fair and Spring Soccer Registration event is inteded to be a fun and educational forum for children and families who qualify for free or reduced school lunches to not only register and obtain gently used soccer gear for LWYSA spring soccer season. In addition we OLE is partnering with local agencies and companies including Hopelink, Just Garden Project, Molina Healthcare of WA to promote health, nutrition and fitness. During the event we are excited to have the following guest speakers & presentations:
· Positive Parenting from esteemed marriage family therapist, Donna Wilson M.A., LMFT, LPC, LCDC;
· Staying Safe on the Internet by Scott Wallin, Board Member, Hopelink;
· Penny Lara from Public Health Services, King County.
The event is free to attend and free for companies to participate. Volunteers are assisting with registering families who qualify for the reduced soccer registration fees, into LWYSA Spring Soccer programs. Volunteers are continuously collecting and re-distributing gently used cleats, shin guards and apparel. Equipment donations can be dropped off at the LWYSA Office.

Let me know if you have any questions. We are hoping to get the word out next week to promote participation. This is a great resource for low-income families to feel a part of the community and become more educated on healthier living.
Thank you for your consideration.
