Make-A-Wish Soccer Tournament fundraiser registration to begin

Kayla Meyer|February 22, 2010

To raise money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, an organization that grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions, a World Cup Soccer Tournament will take place at St. Edward’s University on April 25.

The registration for the fundraiser will be held March 1-5 from 11-2 p.m. in the Ragsdale Center.

The soccer tournament will be a five-on-five indoor tournament held in the Recreation and Convocation Center.

Senior Stacey Copeland, a former women’s soccer player for St. Edward’s, is one of the main organizers of the event.

Copeland said all skill levels are welcome and there will be a beginner’s level league in the tournament.

A seven player roster will be the maximum per team, and the team entry fee will be $35, or $5 per player.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation is the official charity supported by all Division II NCAA schools.This year’s theme of hosting a world cup was inspired by the World Cup taking place in South Africa this summer, said Copeland.

“The event hopes to raise as much money as possible for the charity and also hopes to be a fun day for everybody to take part in,” Copeland said.

The tournament will provide food, raffles, team awards and other activities, said Copeland.

Those looking for more information or interested in participating, but don’t have enough players, can e-mail Copeland at [email protected].
