NLCL to stage ‘Perfect Ten’ fundraiser

Hundreds of fitness enthusiasts are set to participate in the NLCL Nation’s Cup Perfect TEN 5K/10K walk/run, a charitable fundraiser organized by the Next Level Foundation. The event is scheduled for Saturday, July 11, with the 10K race beginning at 5:45 a.m. and the 5K starting at 6 a.m.

The registered non-profit charitable organization, Next Level Foundation, is hosting the fundraiser with a dual focus on football and the number ten, which holds global significance in the sport. All proceeds from the event will directly support youth football development and community engagement initiatives targeted at at-risk youth.

We are excited to say that we are using a relatively new route for both the 5K and 10K. All ages are welcome to come run or walk for a good cause.

The race village will be located at the Naparima College Grounds in San Fernando. Several sponsors and partners, including TECU Credit Union and Guardian Group, will be present, offering giveaways to participants. Race organizer and chairperson Germaine Jordan expressed excitement about the new routes for both races and welcomed participants of all ages.

Following the walk/run, the organizers are planning to host the NLCL Nation’s Cup, Rising Stars Invitational football tournament in Tobago on August 1 and 2. This tournament will feature Under-9, Under-11, and Under-13 boys' teams from academies and clubs across Trinidad and Tobago.

Every registered participant will receive a finisher medal, in addition to first, second and third place male and female individual prizes, the largest team will receive a prize as well.
