About:
In a powerful show of solidarity, the Somerset Berkley Regional High School (SBRHS) Boys Soccer team recently hosted a car wash fundraiser to support their teammate who is bravely facing a battle with stage 4 cancer. Held on Saturday, August 10th, this event brought the team and community together to show their unwavering support for him and his family during this challenging time.
The event, held from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM, saw a dedicated group of players working together to raise both funds and awareness. For a $10 car wash, attendees could not only get their vehicles spruced up but also contribute to a meaningful cause. Many generous community members went beyond the suggested donation, giving additional funds to help the family with medical and personal expenses.
The team’s collective effort extended beyond washing cars, with players involved in organizing, promoting, and running the event. Their commitment demonstrated the strong sense of family and camaraderie that exists within the SBRHS Boys Soccer program. A GoFundMe page was also linked in their social media bio for those unable to attend, allowing even more supporters to contribute.
The coach praised the team for their initiative and dedication to supporting tehir friend. “Watching these young men come together for their teammate is a reminder of how powerful community support can be. They truly exemplify the values of teamwork and compassion,” he shared.
This car wash fundraiser is one of many ways the SBRHS Boys Soccer team is making a positive impact off the field, reminding us all of the strength that comes from rallying around one another in times of need. The team and community’s outpouring of support not only provides financial assistance but also serves as a beacon of hope for tehir friend and his family, showing that no one fights alone.
