Support came as far as football associations from Lupon in Davao Oriental as Davao’s football community play for one significant event and for a laudable cause on Sunday with the staging of DFAid or Davao Football Aid which aims to gather contributions for the flashflood victims of Davao.
“We have received several calls and messages for support, some coming from as far as Davao Oriental,” said volunteer organizer Neil Bravo.
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 last Sunday at the Tionko Field.
The DFAid fun games will be staged at the Crocs Football Field at the Crocodile Park inside the vast 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 June 29 flodding in Davao, some of which are football players.
“There are football players who are flood victims themselves and we wish to help them,” said Christian Ea of the Crocodile Park football field management team and head of the Rules Committee of the DFA.
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.
Around 200 players are expected to take part in this charity event. DFAid is inviting all kind-hearted Davaoenos to come on Sunday to take part even if they do not play football.
