This past Sunday the Hinsdale Central High School boys varsity soccer team was to hold its soccer-tennis KICK (Kick It in for Chicago Kids) event. Well, mother nature decided not to cooperate and the heavens opened up and doused the tennis courts with a good bit of rain. That canceled the fun part of the day...playing!
Due to the conditions we went indoors and passed out the KICK t-shirts (they look absolutely great) and enjoyed some pizza and gatorade. Ann Scott and I thanked everyone for coming and related some stories of thanks told to us by the children who have received school supplies courtesy of KICK.
Despite the miserable conditions, KICK turned out to be a monumental success. Altogether, with corporate sponsors, family backing, KICK registration fees and donated gift certificates $5,600.00 was raised...truly an amazing amount of money!
I want to thank seniors Mitch Reavis, Will Meyer and Andrew Scott (varsity players) for coordinating the event. Their leadership is certainly appreciated. Thanks also goes out to every single parent, player and company who supported the event and, in turn, are helping those in need obtain the resources they desperately need in order to be successful in their studies.
Thanks to one and all,
Dick
