About:
The captains of Nipmuc’s Men’s Varsity Soccer team—Zach Johnson (Sr, Goalkeeper), Colin Bulock (Sr, Defender), Jack Harvey (Sr, Midfielder), and Cormack Devenney (Jr, Midfielder)—led the team in a successful fundraising effort to support the local community. Players from both the varsity and junior varsity teams, totally 42 young men, participated by selling at least three Nipmuc scarves each as part of a team-wide fundraiser. From these profits, 10% was dedicated to supporting local food pantries, with donations going to both Upton and Mendon. Some players exceeded expectations, selling up to 16 and 17 scarves!
This initiative reflects the team’s mission of creating a positive environment where everyone contributes both on and off the field. Through organized team events and community involvement, Nipmuc Boys Soccer continues to foster personal growth and set its players up for success.
