| The Madelon Medina Fund |
|
|
This Fund was developed to honor
Madelon’s devotion to the Sunnyvale Alliance Soccer Club (SASC). She
started working with the Club around 1978 and continued to work in various
positions until her unexpected death in 1995. Madelon expended tremendous
amounts of time for registration, equipment, and uniforms, with her husband
coaching and children playing. Her work continued through the good times and
the bad times without hesitation.
One wish Madelon had was financial
assistance for youths playing high level soccer. The cost to parents for youths
chosen to play on regional or national teams or teams achieving regional or
national competition is high. She had first hand knowledge of the costs
involved and worried for the other youths’ parents, too.
The
Madelon Medina Fund was developed when SASC had a large pool of money slated to
start the fund. Continued financing of the fund is suggested as one dollar for
each registered youth per season when the fund drops below $2500. The fund will
be used for youths or teams achieving out of state invitational play or
training.
The fund is available to players registered on class 1
competitive SASC teams, or to class 1 competitive teams registered with SASC
having a minimum of six Sunnyvale residence players. The teams can either be
CYSA or US Club registrations, but must be an SASC team and players. The fund
will not discriminate between family income levels for the youths. A person or
team must request funds from the board with proof of high level soccer play
available.
When funds are available, the following amounts can be
distributed:
- Team to Regional Tournament - $1,000
- Team to National Tournament $1,500
- Any level SASC Player (class 1,3,rec) to State,
Regional or National level Olympic Development Training or Tournaments
$200
- Player to National Team Training $500
- Teams who reach semi finals in CYSA State Cup,
NorCal, or other CA State level tournaments, including NorCal and US Club
tournaments -$500
- Teams who reach finals in CYSA State Cup, NorCal,
or other CA State level tournaments, including NorCal and US Club tournaments
-$500
- Annual limit of $600 per player or $2,000 per Team;
player funding is not counted towards the Team limit
Funding will be distributed as available and may
be prorated in the case of multiple requests. Funding will not come from the
general operating budget of SASC and the general operating budget will not use
the Fund money. The SASC Treasurer and Executive Committee will decide how to
most appropriately distribute the funds.
