  1. What a great event it turned out to be! We all pulled together and did our part to show Howie how loved and respected he is to us in the soccer community on and off the field!! We were able to help raise 14,000.00 to he support Howies medical expenses! Its amazing what great people can do when they work together. Matt thanks for spear heading this fundraiser!!!
