The U.S. Soccer Foundation’s Soccer for Success program partner at Independent Health Foundation played an integral role in site selection.
‘The City of Lackawanna is honored to receive this generous grant from the U.S. Soccer Foundation and The DICK’S Sporting Goods Foundation to expand our youth soccer programs,’ said Mayor Annette Iafallo. ‘Through their generosity, made possible by the Independent Health Foundation, boys and girls throughout Lackawanna with now have even more opportunities to enjoy the game of soccer under the guidance of skilled volunteer coaches committed to creating an inclusive and fun learning environment.’
Representing Lackawanna at the event were Mayor Iafallo, Third Ward Council Member Dean Moretti, Recreation Director Brian Lakso and several members of the Lackawanna Police Department, who served as volunteer coaches for the Soccer for Success activity portion of the event. Representatives from The DICK’S Sporting Goods Foundation and Independent Health Foundation were also on hand.
The event was covered by several local media outlets including WKBW, WGRZ, WIVB, SPECTRUM News and the Buffalo Challenger newspaper. The press release can be viewed on the city website at http://lackawannany.gov/…/Media-Release-Victory-Playground-…
The City of Lackawanna extends its sincere thanks and appreciation to each of these wonderful foundations, as well as to the Lackawanna Recreation and Public Works departments, for their roles in bringing the new mini-pitch facility to Victory Playground. We look forward to exciting soccer programming here next season!
