Kicking Up the Cares for Coach Callum

Coach Callum coaches for the North Carolina-based Carolina Velocity program. Last week Coach Callum's players were informed by the director of the program that Callum had gotten diagnosed with cancer. He has had surgery but unfortunately found out that his cancer has now spread.

His diagnosis comes with a huge financial burden, and we want to be able to support him in any way we can.

If you find yourself able to do so, please help us KICK up some funds to help our Coach Callum feel cared for and supported by his American Soccer Family!
