For the Love of Football

The Plan of action to unite the two sides of town is to have a football tournament. There will be 8 teams with 10 players on each team. But every team will be half African american and half white. This will make sure that it's not just simply African Americans vs Whites. Everyone who participates in the tournament will get a five dollars. There will be police at the game to ensure there are no altercations. Everyone in the county will be invited to the event. The admission fee for a game will be 20 cents per person. People in the state of Alabama are open to making donations to help fund this event.  All of the money will go to the African American and White schools in Maycomb County. 
The way in which the event will work is very basic. Mr. Taylor and Atticus Finch will be the refs for all of the football games. They are both honorable men who are unbiased. Police Officers will act as security guards to make sure there is no violence. We will cut down trees in the Deer's Pasture to create room to build a field. We will also need to build bleachers, which well help create jobs for those who are unemployed in Maycomb county. If successful, this could become a yearly event in Maycomb. 
This is the overall cost of the event  
Cost to build Bleachers-$100
Team Uniforms- $200
Hiring Security- $150
Buying a Football- $25
