Crozer-Keystone Health System
and the Philadelphia Union have created a Delaware County poster contest for
local students to demonstrate their artistic skills and win tickets for the New
England Revolution vs. Philadelphia Union soccer game at PPL Park on May 17. A
total of 50 tickets will be awarded by Crozer-Keystone to 13 talented students
and their families, through the Philadelphia Union’s Kicks for Kids program.
This contest is open to all
Delaware County students between the ages of 7 to 12, as of May 17. The
students will be judged in three age divisions (7-8, 9-10, 11-12), and are
asked to create a poster with the theme of “Soccer, Health and Community.” Posters
can not be larger than 18” X 24” and only markers, pens, crayons and/or pencils
are to be used. All completed posters should have a label placed in the lower
right hand corner with the child’s name, child’s gender, age as of May 17,
school, parent’s name(s), and contact phone number.
All posters should be dropped
off in the main lobby of the Crozer Medical Plaza at Brinton Lake, 300
Evergreen Drive, Glen Mills, Pa, between March 28 and April 25, in a bin marked
“Delaware County Poster Contest.” The Medical Plaza is open Monday to Thursday
from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Friday from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., closed Saturday and
Sunday. If you are unable to drop off the poster at the Crozer Medical Plaza,
you may scan the poster to ckhspublicrelations@crozer.org.
During the week of April 28,
Crozer-Keystone will determine the 1st, 2nd, 3rd
and 4th place winners for each of the three age divisions plus one
honorable mention student. A parent for
each of the thirteen students will be contacted and arrangements will be made
to provide four tickets to the May 17 game for each winner, and two tickets for
the honorable mention student. The winning artwork along with the names of the
students will be posted on the social media sites and websites for both
Crozer-Keystone and the Philadelphia Union during the month of May.
Kicks for Kids is a national
marketing platform through Major League Soccer that enables teams to develop
community outreach programs with corporate partners. The Philadelphia Union launched
this program in 2014 with Crozer-Keystone as the first corporate partner. In
addition to the Delaware County poster contest winners, Crozer-Keystone has
agreed to donate additional 2014 Philadelphia Union tickets for local
organizations that include: Soccer for Success, Boys & Girls Club of
Chester, Wellness Center at Community Hospital, Unionville Recreational
Association, Drexel Hill Raiders, and Kids Asthma Management Program.
