DFAid: Davao footballers play for flood victims

DAVAO CITY—Around 200 football players from this city will converge this Sunday for what they call as
DFAid—a one-day football festival aimed at raising funds for Davao’s flood victims.

DFAid is a project of the Davao Football Association in cooperation with the Davao Football Community,
ABS-CBN Davao and Bravetower Promotions. Davao Football Association president Edward “Chaya” Lam
called on all clubs and stakeholders to support the fund-raising project in an impromptu meeting last
Sunday at the Tionko Field.

The call for DFAid raised positive response from Davao’s football community. The DFAid tournament will
be staged at the Crocs Football Field at the Crocodile Park inside the sprawling Riverfront property along
Maa Diversion Road.

Games start at 2:00 in the afternoon and will end with the formal turnover of donation to
representatives of the ABS-CBN Davao for distribution to the victims of the July 29 flashfloods in Matina.

The DFAid will be accepting cash and in-kind donations during the fun games from all football
aficionados as well as the rest of Davao’s sporting community.

“We hope to give the message to everyone that the sports community of Davao is not only concerned
about playing games. We are also here to lend a hand and share our blessings,” said DFAid volunteer
organizer Neil Bravo.
