BRO Sports™ Presents: World Cup 2018 Contest and Fundraiser
The BRO Sports™ Contest Division is getting extreme for this year’s World Cup!
One of the goals for this division of BRO Sports™ is to partner with real-world sports organizations in need of support. Well, we’ve found our first real-world organization in none other than the currently downtrodden population of Venezuela and we’re happy to support them with a series of World Cup contests and fundraisers over the next month!
The recipient of funds raised will be Club Tribu Escarilada – @climbinglifeclub on the Steem blockchain – and the founder of that club is @yazp. The club was officially organized in July 2017 and is a legally-structured and recognized organization in the capital city of Caracas, Venezuela. You can read their introduction post here:
Este es nuestro día a día, ¡Bienvenidos al mundo de la Escalada!
The goal of this fundraiser and contest is to provide some assistance to the club so that they may purchase some needed climbing ropes for use by the club members. The ropes they currently share among the members are becoming worn and pose a safety risk and they also have very few ropes to share among the membership. The climbing ropes are one of the most expensive items needed but are also one of the most necessary to have.
So the BRO Sports™ Contest Division is going to host a series of World Cup contests and we will direct funds raised from those contests to Club Tribu Escarilada.

Contest Fundraising Goals and Additional Information
This will give us a total of 13 contests over the next month. From the contest post rewards, 70% of the SBD/STEEM will be directed to Club Tribu Escarilada - @climbinglifeclub, 20% will go to contest winners, and 10% will be reserved for future donations to this and other charitable initiatives. Our target fundraising goal is 250 SBD. That means the post rewards would need to be the approximate equivalent of 65-70 SBD per contest post.
This is a very ambitious goal, but we believe that it is certainly an achievable one and we hope that the community can help us get there. We welcome any and all support, including direct donations. All purchases of equipment will be documented on the blockchain via the @climbinglifeclub or @yazp accounts and updates will be shared via this account, @brospn-contests.
If you would like to contribute to this cause, please contact “ats.david” on Steem.chat or “ats-david [ats-witness]#1997” on Discord.
Official Sponsors and Affiliates of the BRO Sports™ Contest Division
Find this publication has been an excellent way to start the day and the week! We are very grateful for the initiative of BRO Sports and mainly with @ats-david for their unconditional support. Is very nice to see so many people supporting this. Infinite thanks!
All SBDs earned from this post will be donated to @climbinglifeclub.
Hello and congrats on a great initiative.
I would like to contribute directly, as my friend @fullcoverbetting already did. Yet, I am a bit confused.
To whom should I donate? To @brospn-contests, directly to @climbinglifeclub, to both :) ? Thanks!
After a discord DM with @ats-david, I donated it to @brospn-contests and in the memo referred to the fundraiser.
Maybe better to wait, until you receive an answer here!
Cheers,
Peter
You can donate to the @brospn-contests account for now. On behalf of the club, thank you for the support!
Thank you for the reply. Done!
Great thing to do guy!
Personally I will sent over 1 SBD! If 250 people will do this then the goal will be reached within one day!
Will resteem the post to give it some more attention!
Good luck,
Peter
A great initiative, my friends. Resteem and full upvote, whatever my vote is worth these days :)
I will follow the contest, participate and promote it whenever possible.
Good luck, everybody.
Good initiative - I did a similar contest last work cup on a different platform - win-win for all attendees. Resteeming and going to attend.
That is amazing!!............
This is very good initiative.
I hope you achieve the predicted target of sbds.
I will support you with my upvotes :)
Very kind initiative. You have my upvote!
Good to see initiatives like this!
I don't have a large upvote, I am trying to grow and at the same time support as many redfish and new users as I can, but this was an important cause. When people are downtrodden sometimes it is only the pride they hold in their sports and teams that keep them going. It seems it has been that way since the Roman Gladiatorial times. Good luck on the contest and on the fundraiser. I will try to stop by on your next update post also.
