Recapping the Project

As I've already stated, my project over here is rather large, and if anybody knows anybody in the sports/sportswear industry, I'd love to talk to them. It's a great cause, and any contacts in the US or elsewhere would be greatly appreciated.
Here's some info:
There are two teams of thirty (already with a coach and all the players chosen, ie: they have everything but the materiel) who need jerseys, shorts, and shoes (and possibly warmup suits, although that's of tertiary consideration). Additionally, the team needs some money, around USD 1000 for transportation of the players, since they will be in a real national league.
These two teams are all made up of local kids in Akkari, a local neighborhood I work in. These kids are not affluent, or even middle class, and are unable to finance the uniforms etc.
Also, they have a "terrain" for a soccer field, although it needs to be leveled, etc, even goals put in. To put it in perspective, the only open land they have is a thin stretch between a busy motorway they have to cross and the rocky beach of the Atlantic.
