FUNDRAISER:
The Joey Uvalle 3 v 3 Soccer Classic is a “dedicated” fundraiser designed to support the Joseph Adam Uvalle Trust Fund. All of the proceeds from this event are deposited into the trust fund that provided medical care, education and financial care for Joey Uvalle. With that in mind all participants and spectators are thanked for all of your support. A “one time” $5 Spectator Donation will be collected at the first site you enter. All Players and Coaches are Free. If you are opposed to paying this spectator donation, please just politely let us know…we will understand.
PARKING:
Parking at Bishop Moore could be difficult due to the number of people attending this event, so arrive early and car pool as best as you can. Additional parking is available on the side streets across from Bishop Moore and at the St. Charles Church after 12 pm.
