TEAM EXCEL
TEAM EXCEL is a “reverse” Fantasy Football concept where students become the fantasy athletes, and professional athletes and community mentors serve as team coaches. Each week, students receive individual and team scores based on their grades, attendance, and community service. Teams compete for weekly prizes based on their team averages, with grand prizes awarded at the end of marking periods and the end of the year or “season”. Individual prizes are also awarded to students that excel throughout the year.
TEAM EXCEL is the signature program for Excel to Excellence. The organization was founded by Richmond native and 8 year NFL Veteran Michael Robinson. Avail provides foundation management services for Michael Robinson and Excel to Excellence.
Program details
TEAM EXCEL currently takes place at Varina High School and John Rolfe Middle School. For more information, please contact your school administrator or visit www.exceltoexcellence.org. or www.goteamexcel.org.
Moriah McNeil Memorial Celebrity Golf Classic
Emanuel McNeil founded The Moriah McNeil Memorial Celebrity Golf Classic in 2004, to honor the memory of his daughter Moriah and help other families in need. During Moriah’s battle with cancer, the family was blessed to have support from charitable organizations such as Sparrow Clubs USA. In founding the golf tournament, Emanuel made a commitment to honor his daughter by raising funds for organizations that support families in need, due to a medical crisis. Even during her struggle with cancer, Moriah raised thousands of dollars for charity and donated her own time and money to help others. The Moriah McNeil Memorial Celebrity Golf Classic continues her legacy of giving.
Moriah McNeil fought long and hard during her battle with Fibrosarcoma, a deadly form of cancer. Please join us at the 11th annual Moriah McNeil Memorial Celebrity Golf Tournament as we honor the memory of Moriah and raise money for The ReeseStrong Foundation and the children they serve. The ReeseStrong Foundation is dedicated to helping families stay strong in the battle against childhood cancer.
