we have a unique opportunity. As you may know, we are working with Lucas Sports and Mia Hamm to create a new type of fundraising campaign. Ms. Hamm, the only five-time recipient of the U.S. Soccer Female Athlete of the Year award, is also dedicated to raising funds and awareness for two very personal causes: research for bone marrow diseases and the encouragement and empowerment of young female athletes. Together, we hope to generate revenue and awareness for Soccer Rhode Island Members, the Station Family Fund and the Mia Hamm Foundation.
The purpose of Soccer Rhode Island (SRI) is to promote and develop the sport of soccer at the youth level, providing avenues of participation at various skill levels to meet the needs of the membership. The Soccer Rhode Island Board of Directors (SRI Board of Directors) is charged with providing administrative support to the Leagues, Clubs, Teams and Players under its jurisdiction. At one end of the spectrum, we attempt to afford all young people an opportunity to participate in this game and have fun while they learn to enjoy the finer points and skills.
