Our Community Foundation has awarded a $2,500 grant to the Washington Soccer Federation to help provide travel soccer scholarships for local players. The grant was recommended by Grant and Emily Swartzentruber through the Give Back, A Swartzentruber Family Inspired Fund. Washington Soccer Federation coach Austin Ghirardelli says the funding will help children who may not otherwise be able to afford travel soccer fees participate and continue developing their skills. Volunteers with the program also thanked local donors and community members for supporting youth soccer in the area.
