Take five senior Hinsdale Central varsity soccer players; Manos Proussaloglou, JD Garnett, Christian Meyer, TJ Schmidt and Max Krohn and give them a fundraiser and watch come through in a big way. That's just what they did at yesterday's KICK event.
These five boys coordinated a soccer-tennis tourney for 69 players, sought out corporate monetary donations, garnered gift certificates and secured plenty of refreshments for the participants. This effort was terrific in all regards.
The result, on a bright, sunny Sunday, was some great fun, fast action on the courts and a wonderful response in terms of raising funds. Because of the efforts of the boys, the players, parents and local community the seniors noted above raised over $8,000.00!! This is an all time record for KICK!
I want to thank the five boys who organized the event - along with their Mom's - and all the participants for making the day such a monumental success. Your efforts will surely allow many CPS children to obtain the necessary daily supplies they might otherwise go without.
Great stuff!!
Coach Flesher
