Washington, D.C. – The
University of the District of Columbia men’s soccer team
hosted its first annual “Make-A-Wish Soccer Day” during
its home East Coast Conference match against Dowling on Saturday,
September 29th.
The athletic department suggested a $2 donation for admission and
sold Make-A-Wish tribute soccer balls for $2 apiece with
100-percent of the proceeds going to benefit the Make-A-Wish
Foundation. The Make-A-Wish Foundation is an organization that
strives to enrich the lives of children with life-threatening
medical conditions through its wish-granting work.
The Firebirds went on to earn their first-ever East Coast
Conference win as it bested the Golden Lions, 2-1 on a beautiful
Saturday afternoon in the nation’s capital.
