Club of Poquoson Annual Christine Garvey Memorial Soccer
Tournament
by Pat Garvey
On March 12-14, 2008,
six clubs from Div 23 (Colonial Capital, Denbigh, Poquoson,Tabb,
York,Williamsburg) and one club from Div 13 (Warwick)
hosted 32 boys and girls varsity and JV soccer teams
in a three day tournament designed to raise funds in
the fight against breast cancer. Along with these Kiwanis
Clubs, five Key Clubs (Bruton, Poquoson, Tabb Walsingham,
York) provided volunteers to support concession stands
and other field duties. In a great show of support,
the local Soccer Referee organization supplied volunteer
Refs for all games. Some Refs wore pink jerseys and
used pink whistles -- the official color of breast
cancer research. This year's event raised a whopping
$9,400. In its nine year history this tournament has
raised over $95,000. Every dollar is donated to The
Susan G Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. First embraced
by the Poquoson Club, this has evolved into a true
Division 23 project and each it offers over 500 youth
a quality event on the Virginia Peninsula.
