"She's been a pioneer for the women's game, and what's so extraordinary about her is it started off like any mom caring about her kids and wanting to help them out. She saw how women's soccer needed to be spoken for and just started volunteering. It's amazing what she's been able to accomplish and how much the women's game has improved over the past 20 years because of volunteers like her." ~Amber Brooks
Charlotte Moran has left an unmistakable footprint on the world of women’s youth soccer, particularly Region I ODP...
Her influence is being recognized through cancer research foundation Score for a Cure, spurred by two players whose lives wouldn’t have been the same without her presence. Charlotte’s passing will be a great loss to our community, but in her absence, even her memory will inspire progress and goodwill through funding cancer research.
Her honorary event includes commemorative bracelets,
t-shirts, and a 3v3 tournament in PA on June 12th. The tournament
started as a public service assignment for the two graduating seniors
Amber Brooks and Heidi Sabatura, but they hope to make their work more
meaningful than just a sense of obligation. Congratulations to both
girls for being earnest and creating something positive out of tragic
circumstance. Links for the tournament and purchasing a bracelet are
here.
Score for a Cure donates their proceeds to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, a 4-star Charity Navigator Charity. SFAC works with multiple sports but has had two tournaments in April this year so far, and has become a positive event in supporting well needed research funding. Soccer, more so than most sports, has an intense sense of community. Hopefully we can all take notice of the benefits here that women's soccer has discovered.
