Support the David Vanole Memorial Fund

"Team Vanole" is once again lacing up its shoes and running in the 31st Annual Manhattan Beach 10K Run to raise funds for the David Vanole Memorial Fund, a grant-giving fund established in Dave's memory. The race takes place on Saturday, October 4, 2008 in the city of Manhattan Beach, CA. Last year, more than 50 "Team Vanole" enthusiasts banded together to support the cause.

Grants from the fund are awarded to soccer clubs and organizations in urban areas that help create and sustain soccer opportunities for underserved children, with an emphasis on groups in the Southern California region, where Dave's career started.  Show your support for Team Vanole!
