My name is Aaron Hohlbein and I am the Director for the Forward Madison FC Youth Club. I grew up in Madison, played youth soccer here, went on to play collegiately at the University of Wisconsin, and was fortunate enough to play professionally in Major League Soccer. Soccer has always been part of my life, and the game has provided me with so many opportunities throughout the years. My goal is to help as many young players in the greater Madison area have the same opportunities to learn and grow that I did. It's my passion to help young people find joy through the game and to push themselves to reach their highest potential both on and off the field.

As a celebration of my 40th birthday coming up on August 16th, I would love to raise money to help fund scholarships for players and families in need of assistance for expenses related to soccer. Whether it is registration fees, assistance purchasing uniforms, or travel expenses, every single penny that is donated will go to families of players in need. There is no better way for me to celebrate my "milestone" birthday than to help young players be afforded the opportunity to experience the great doors that soccer can open for them. Any donation is greatly appreciated and will help!
