The game’s score was largely irrelevant, however, as the goal of the annual match was to raise money for a good cause. Through individual donations and sponsorships, alumni of US government sponsored exchange programs raised 38,762 Kyrgyz soms—approximately $1107.63 according to the bank rate set by the National Bank of Kyrgyzstan. Alumni will use this money to purchase winter clothing and boots for the 76 children of the Uch Korgon Orphanage in Batken Oblast and present them at an event to be held at the orphanage in the next few weeks. Alumni also collected donations of books from the Soros Foundation, the US Embassy, and the online store Svetofor.kg. Alumni of educational programs would like to express sincere gratitude to all of the people who helped make this charity event a success. During the game, spectators were also treated to vocal performances by young Kyrgyz singers, cheerleading and dance troupe performances by students of the American University of Central Asia, a silent auction featuring drawings of children from the Uch Korgon Orphanage, and a raffle of items donated by various sponsors.
