That state champion 5th grade Wellesley Junior Raiders football team we mentioned earlier this month has kept it going, winning the New England regionals this past weekend by a score of 18-0 over the Hartford Wildcats. Next up, the American Youth Football National Championship in Kissimee, Fla., on Dec. 7. (Perhaps the only thing that can stop them is the giant finger that appears to be covering the top left of this photo!)
But before that, the team needs to raise about $50K to cover travel, food and other expenses. They’re hitting up local businesses for tax deductible donations and will be present at the Wellesley High Thanksgiving game as well seeking contributions. If you’d like to contribute, send checks payable to: WYF, P.O. Box 812839, Wellesley, MA 02482 or visit www.GoFundMe.com/5gcmfo
