“One of the greatest gifts that we can give as a team is by putting smiles on the faces of these patients who spend every day in the hospital” said Orange County SC’s General Manager & Executive Vice President of Soccer Operations Oliver Wyss. “These families face the most difficult of circumstances day-in and day-out and having them spend quality time with our team is so rewarding and so humbling.”
The team partnered with Soccer For Hope who has raised over $3 million dollars for hospitals and foundations nationwide to aid in childhood cancer research, awareness and essential family support since its inception in 1998. Side by side they handed out gifts to the children and helped to make a difference in the lives of the families.
