Penn Girls Soccer honored for their community service in support of LOGAN

Posted on November 16, 2015

For many years the Penn Girls Soccer team has worked to make the popular Family FunFest, which is part of the community’s annual LOGAN’s Run, a success. Hoping to give them the recognition they deserve, LOGAN’s development team nominated Penn Girls Soccer as recipients of the 2015 Youth Fund Raiser Award. The Association of Fundraising Professionals sponsors the award, and they agree with LOGAN: Penn Girls Soccer rises to the top of those groups who have done extraordinary things for area non-profits!

The team will receive the 2015 Youth Fund Raiser Award at the Annual Salute to Philanthropy Luncheon on November 17. Coach Jeff Hart has been invited to attend the South Bend event, where he will accept the award on behalf of the team. One or more team members will accompany him. The award includes a $500 gift to the Penn sports program. 

LOGAN’s spokesperson states: There is no doubt about it—the tradition of support that this amazing group of student-athletes has shown LOGAN over the past eight years with the planning and hosting of the annual Family FunFest has been instrumental in helping this event grow in reputation and success. We cannot thank you enough, but we hope that this award is a symbol of that appreciation. 

The student-athletes who make up this year’s team are indeed exceptional. Besides their community service, they have had an amazing year on the soccer field. A nationally-ranked team, they followed an undefeated season with a run for the state championship, and made their way to the finals in a highly competitive streak.

Congratulations to Coach Hart and the Penn Girls Soccer team on all their accomplishments!
