MANCHESTER, NH – As part of their ongoing efforts to support youth sports, Quirk  Chevy has donated $1,000 to the Manchester East Soccer League which will be used to help address some of the league’s financial needs. 

Dan Adams, President of Manchester East Soccer League said, “This generous donation will be used to purchase soccer equipment and provide funding for field maintenance costs. It will also help families who would be financially unable to  register their children to play.” 

Rachel Victer, Public Relations Manager for Quirk said, “For over forty years  Quirk has been supporting a number of youth sports and enrichment programs benefiting youngsters in New Hampshire. It’s a joy seeing children hitting the field engaging in a healthy lifestyle and learning leadership and team-building skills that will last a lifetime”. 

Quirk is one of the largest New England auto dealers, currently operating 16  active dealerships and service centers and employing over 1,500 employees located throughout Massachusetts and New Hampshire. The company also owns and operates Quirk Parts Depot, a 200,000 square foot warehouse that delivers  OEM auto parts worldwide.

Tonight's Games are Canceled - October 4, 2021

Cash Calendars Winners to be drawn....soon, but not tonight!

Good evening MESL Parents,

Tonight is the night the league was going to start drawing winners of the cash calendars; however, we have decided to extend the calendar sales through October 8th, with a final drawing on November 8th. Here's your chance to sell/purchase calendars if you haven't already!

I think it is important to make sure everyone realizes how much our league relies on fundraising and sponsors to keep our registration costs down. The league hasn't had a price increase in years, and we even decreased our prices last year during the height of COVID to assist parents that were potentially struggling. In addition to lower registration costs last year, we did not open the concession stand - it really affected how much money the league took in last season. This year we have had less than 25% participation in our fundraiser throughout the league. We always strive for 100% participation throughout the league; however, we also understand that times may still be tight for many families. 

We’d like to propose a little more time to try to sell more cash calendars. If ten is too many, maybe you could try for five? We will keep sales open until October 8th. If we can surpass at least $5500.00 in sales, the league will increase the final prize to $250. The calendar not only helps our league with its costs, but it helps to support the businesses that sponsor us throughout the season. 

Since we are keeping the sales open, I am putting out a challenge out to everyone to sell as many cash calendars as you are able. If that number is only 1 or 2 – ok! If you can sell 20 – fantastic! Every bit helps. If we can get over our minimum goal, we will increase the last prize drawn from $150 to $250!

Let's make this happen!!

Thanks for considering,

Christina Hebert
