Century Donates $1,600 For Youth Football Uniforms, More Help Needed
July 17, 2018
The Town of Century voted Monday night to contribute $1,600 towards new uniforms for the Century Sports Association, but the group is still about $800 short of the amount needed.
Century’s donation includes $1,450 earned when the nonprofit Urban Development Center rented the town’s Century Business Center to hold workforce training classes; the remaining $150 was money leftover from their Independence Day fireworks.
According to an invoice submitted to the town, the Century Sports Association ordered 75 new youth football uniforms for $4,860. A $1,500 deposit was paid, and the youth league has secured donations to pay all but $800 of the bill.
Century Sports President Amanuel Dobose said program participation is growing steadily and is a positive influence for Century’s youth.
Anyone wishing to help the Century Sports Association can email centurysportsassociation@gmail.com or mail a donation to P.O. Box 1252, Century, FL 32535

You dont see other communities that are hard pressed to make ends meet doling out city funds for things that aren’t necessary. How is this expense justified? I like football and have grandkids that play it. The parents fund it not the town.
This has always puzzled me why football players didn’t have to pay for uniforms but cheerleaders did .but yet parents of cheerleader were required to work concession stand . I always felt discrrimination was in hand I paid several hundred dollars for my girls to cheer . And I refused to work for quarter back club . I sat back and enjoyed the game
this is a very good thing , but how can Century afford it, they are deep in debt. they need to get people and businesses tofully sponsor the team.
