The Juan Diego and Judge Memorial girls soccer teams agreed to postpone their game from last Wednesday until Sept. 30 in order to help a worthy cause. The teams will play on Sept. 30 in conjunction with a fundraiser organized by the charitable group Soccer Unites. They are joining forces to raise money for Marcia Williams, the wife of Real Salt Lake player Andy Williams. She needs a bone-marrow transplant to help her battle a rare form of leukemia.
"The soccer community in Utah is pretty small, and when one of our own needs it we try to help out how we can," said Juan Diego coach Jamie Schock. "At the end of the day, it's about trying to help a young mother be able to stick around for her kids."
Williams is the mother of two girls, and the cost of her medical care will likely reach six figures.
The Juan Diego-Judge game on Sept. 30 will be just a portion of a big fundraising event for Williams. Schock said the game will include celebrities, adding that RSL coach Jason Kreis and some of his players will be involved. Tickets will cost $5, and all money raised through the gate, concessions and an auction will be donated to the Williams family.
The event will be held at Juan Diego.
