Montreal, 08 October 2011

To: Coaching staff of the 2011 ICKPK participating team.

Subject: Close of the 2011 International Cup, Kids Playing for Kids

Dear Coach,

Our 2011 tournament benefiting the two Montreal children Hospital Foundations: Ste Justine and Montreal Children’s Hospitals came to a close on Sunday the 25th of September 2011.

We are happy to announce that our 6th Edition, notwithstanding the bad weather we faced during the month of September that caused an unprecedented number of games having to be rescheduled, was as successful as precedent editions that allowed 13 out of the 15 Lac St Louis Regional Soccer Clubs’ house league soccer players, both boys and girls, to participate in an “international” type tournament, that this unique tournament offers.

As soon as the final financial results are tabulated we will announce in our website the amount that, thanks to you, was raised this year on behalf of the two Montreal Children’s Hospital Foundations.

This would not have been possible had it not been for the tremendous support we obtained from you, your coaching staff and, of course, your players and respective parents.

Under the honorary presidency of Mr. Francis Scarpaleggia, MP for Lac St Louis and Mr. Edgar Rouleau, Mayor of the City of Dorval and 2011 host , over 90 teams in the various age groups of both genders participated in our 2011 tournament that took place between the 3rd and the 25th of September 2011.

On behalf of the ICKPK Executive Committee, the Organizing Committee, the two Montreal Children Hospital Foundations and the thousands of Lac St Louis Region children, be those healthy or in hospital beds,  we would like to thank you for your invaluable support and continued trust.

We look forward to welcoming you next year when our 7th Edition will replicate the 2012 Euro-Cup jointly hosted by Poland and the Ukraine.

Together we will make a difference.

Sincerely,

Sam

Dear Sam,
 
On behalf of my team, I would like to thank you, your wife and your committee for bringing your dream of the International Cup to life.
 
We had a disappointing end to our house league season, as we lost in the semi-finals to a team we had previously beaten 6-0, because the field was unplayable and the game went directly to a shootout. We also lost our leading scorer for the season to a broken ankle midway through our house league playoffs.
 
In spite of these setbacks, the girls made the most of the opportunity provided by the International Cup and won gold! The competition was very strong and the girls surprised me and themselves by winning four close games in a row to end the tournament, including a shootout win in the quarter-finals and a thrilling overtime win in the gold medal game.
 
Sam, by making your dream a reality, you have made the dreams of many girls and their coaches to come true, and all this in the spirit of giving back to our community by helping the two children's hospitals. Thanks to you, our girls have learned valuable lessons and had a wonderful time.
 
Thank you Sam, you are an angel.

Il me fait plaisir, au nom de la Fédération de soccer du Québec, de souhaiter la bienvenue à tous les joueurs, joueuses, entraîneurs, officiels et parents qui seront présents à l’occasion de la Coupe International, les enfants jouent pour les enfants 2011.

Depuis sa création, cet événement ne cesse de grandir en prestige, il a d’ailleurs remporté en 2007 le prix de l’événement de l’année lors du Gala de la Mi-Temps de la Fédération de soccer du Québec. 

Cet événement unique en son genre qui a permis au cours des ans de remettre des sommes d’argent considérables à la cause des enfants malades, notamment à la Fondation de l’hôpital de Montréal pour les enfants et la Fondation de l’hôpital Sainte-Justine.  Tout cela est possible grâce à l’implication de bénévoles chevronnés, dirigés par M. Sam Gabbay. Je profite de l’occasion pour remercier chacun et chacune d’entre vous pour votre implication et votre dévouement, car sans vous rien ne saurait possible !

En terminant, je ne voudrais pas passer sous silence l’appui indispensable des partenaires qui permettent par leur contribution d’assurer la réussite de ce prestigieux événement dont la renommée n’est plus à faire.

À tous et toutes, bon tournoi!

Le Président,

Dino Madonis
