Thirty coaches from the Santa Clara Sporting Club played in a friendly soccer match at Santa Clara University to celebrate the end of the Goals-for-a-Cure fund-raising event.  During the entire month of October, all 25 Santa Clara Sporting Teams were competing in special pink colored Sporting uniforms and doing their part to raise awareness of breast cancer, and raise money to provide women with financial needs a free breast screening exam. More photos are available online.

In conjunction with “Goals for a Cure” and Cancer Awareness Month, Caroline Cuevas (SC Sporting ’96 Boys Team Manager) organized a Hair Donation drive to benefit Locks of Love - a company that makes wigs for children with cancer. Caroline’s daughter and some of her Sporting teammates donated their hair for the cause. Caroline was brilliant enough to secure some corporate sponsorship to donate money for every inch of hair the girls donated. Check-out more photos at the GFaC Flickr website

Junior Bernal started it. Then R.J. Cabral. Then Rudy Castro. As their teammate’s white coffin was lowered into the ground Monday, the 9- and 10-year-old players from the Santa Clara Sporting Green soccer team pulled off their green-and-white soccer jerseys, and, one by one, threw them into the hole.

"It was for him to remember us," Junior Bernal said.
