Burlington Cricket Club (BCC) and Next generation foundation (NGF) are pleased to announce the 4th Annual BCC Cup 2007 - a Cricket tournament to promote cricket for fun, and to fund the charity projects of NGF to benefit underprivileged children. This tournament will follow last year's highly successful tournament, wherein 27 teams participated with over 300 players, and more than 1000 people watched the tournament's games.

Cricket For Fun

This year's tournament will continue the 16 Overs-a-side, 11-players-a-team format with a hard tennis ball, and will be held across various fields in Burlington between the 10th and 19th of August. On popular demand from an overwhelming number of participating teams last year, we are pleased to announce that we would continue to organize "Floodlit Night Games" in this year's tournament too. A lot of trophies and awards will be presented to players and teams that excel.

Cricket to support a Great Cause

The proceeds of the tournament would benefit NGF's Dharma Yuga and NIRC projects for underprivileged children in India. Dharma Yuga project is a self-sustaining program supporting education of 1000 underprivileged children a year by privileged children in several cities across different states in India.

NIRC project located in Devrukh, Maharastra, India is a residential and educational facility for orphan and underprivileged children providing best in the education and character building. The seed money for Dharma Yuga project for one year that would result in supporting 1000 underprivileged children by the end of that year is around $8000. Funds raised through this tournament would fund this year's Dharma Yuga Project and NIRC Project construction work.

Funds raised through this tournament would fund NGF's this year's Dharma Yuga Project and any overflows would benefit NIRC Project.

Sponsorship Opportunities

We are expecting a crowd of about 1000-1500 and over 300 players, based on last year's participation. Sponsorship opportunities to target this diverse crowd exist at various levels. The opportunity to make a difference, and let people have fun while doing it makes this tournament special and worthwhile of your contribution. Make a difference in the lives of the underprivileged and orphaned children and bring a smile to their faces, while getting a lot of goodwill and rich exposure to your brand/company. We thank our Platinum sponsors Princeton Properties for already pledging $3000 towards the sponsorship.

Next Generation Foundation (NGF) is a registered socio-charitable organization striving to create a revolutionary drive within people to make the social changes to benefit the food, clothing and educational needs of underprivileged children. Members of NGF believe that every child across the world should have the equal and fair opportunity to choose their own destiny and build a better future for mankind. NGF had taken our first step towards this belief and started with NGF founders' home, India, by extending help to the underprivileged children living in this world's largest democracy. In the long-term NGF would be able to extend charitable help to other parts of the world. NGF welcomes you join them in this revolution. NGF is a 501(c)(3) public charity.
