Bring your old cleats and soccer balls to McLean Day and help two worthwhile causes.

Bring your old cleats and soccer balls to McLean Day and help two worthwhile causes.

Roll Out for Joy:  For the past six months MYS has been participating in the Roll Out the Joy program.  This program collects soccer balls  and distributes them to the military stationed in war-torn areas to bring a little "joy" to the children of the area.  Clean out your closets and garage and donate your used and outgrown soccer balls and donate them to this worthy cause!
 
Physicians for Peace: MYS will be collecting soccer cleats for kids ages 7-18 years old U-8 in the African country of Eritrea. There are over 2,000 boys playing soccer there barefoot or in sandals. The fields the young players are on are all rock and dirt.  Physicians for Peace is a cause supported by a group of physicians who provide short term medical relief and teaching in the capital city of Asmara.
