The Brownwood Area Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) will host a FCA Challenge Fundraiser on October 10th to coincide with the District 3-4A football game between the Stephenville Yellow Jackets and the Brownwood Lions at Gordon Wood Stadium in Brownwood. The FCA Challenge will be repeated in 2015 in Stephenville at Memorial Stadium.

The purpose of the FCA Challenge Fundraiser is to raise funds for the respective schools’ huddle (meeting groups) to send students to leadership camp  and for huddle needs such as Bibles, snacks, drinks, and other necessary items. This fun competition is to create a positive bond between each school and community as athletes compete on the field and spectators donate in the stands.

Each school will have donation containers and designate local FCA students, with adult supervision, to take donations at the gate and concession stand through first half of the game. Proceeds are to be counted and PA announcements to be made on the amount of funds donated at the end of the first quarter, middle of the second quarter and at halftime for a competition between communities. The school attaining the most funds wins the FCA Challenge and will take home the FCA Challenge Trophy. The members of the football teams will join in a student led prayer at the 50 yard line at the conclusion of the game.

An additional challenge has been added by Brownwood Area Director, Tony Daniel, and Stephenville Area Director, Carrie Normand that the representative whose community raises the least amount will wear the opposing community’s school identifiable attire Monday-Friday of the next week.
