About:
As a part of our school culture and mission, the soccer team has been involved in several community service opportunities each year. Over the years, we have volunteered with special needs athletes, wounded veterans, food pantries, the homeless etc. However, our “flagship” project has been our involvement with Making Strides Against Breast Cancer each season. Dating back to the 2013-14 season, Cadet Soccer has played a “Breast Cancer Awareness” game, raised donations for Making Strides and has participated in the walk in Albany. We reach out to local businesses for donations, have a raffle, sell tshirts to our whole school and of course play a game where we have special jerseys. Since its inception, we have raised over $50,000 for this cause. There have been several players/families over the years that have been the driving force behind this and at times they have single handedly breathed life into what has been accomplished. This year that individual is Ryan Trahan. His brother, Tyler, led the charge before that.
