"One Goal...Making a Difference."

As the 2006 Champions of Character National Award Winners, the DWU Soccer Program has decided to "step it up a notch"! This year, the DWU Soccer Program has teamed up with the American Cancer Society and the March of Dimes to help MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

We are asking family and friends to pledge money for each goal that is scored this season by the DWU Men's and Women's Soccer Teams. The money that is raised will go directly to the March of Dimes and the American Cancer Society! Last season, 60 goals were scored during the season...so, if you were to pledge 50 cents...you would be donating $30 to these organizations at the end of the season.

We have set a goal for ourselves that each player will get $5 in pledges. If we meet this goal...we will raise over $15,000 that will be given to these fine organizations.  So far, the DWU Men's Soccer Team has $145 in pledges per goal total. It has gone so well that we believe we can reach a goal of $200 in total pledges just for the DWU Men's Team alone! Add that to what the women do and we are definitely going to make a difference. So it is definitely true....ONE GOAL really can MAKE A DIFFERENCE in the lives of others!

Please join us by making a pledge for the "One Goal...Making a Difference" Soccer Campaign!

I just wanted to make a comment concerning the two young men who coached my son's soccor team this fall for the Mitchell Rec Center. The two young men were Mason Hebet and Juan Baltazar. I was so impressed with these two young men and the way that they handled the 3rd and 4th grade soccor team - the Palace City Lions. The Lions are so far undefeated with one game remaining. They really are very friendly and helpful gentlemen. My son and I attended the soccor game during DWU's homecoming week for the men's soccor and was extremely impressed with the team from DWU. I was sorry to see Mason carried off the field but as he said, that's part of the game. I want to commend these two gentlemen and thank the DWU soccor department for allowing these students to help the younger kids in the city. Thanks again.
