Bryant soccer teams with Tomorrow Fund

SMITHFIELD, R.I. – Since the fall of 2012, the Bryant University men’s and women’s soccer teams have worked hand in hand with The Tomorrow Fund to help in its fundraising efforts to fight childhood cancer.

The Tomorrow Fund was founded in 1985 to ease the traumatic financial and emotional effects of childhood cancer. Its founders included doctors, child life specialists, and parents of children with cancer that help assist children with cancer and their families financially, but also emotionally in coping with the overwhelming challenges of this insidious disease. 

Since 2012, the Bryant soccer programs have helped raise roughly $2500 through donations and by selling t-shirts and wristbands. Additionally, both teams have donated youth camp vouchers for the Tomorrow Fund to raffle off at their two annual fundraising events, The Fantasy Ball and The Stroll.  

Bryant soccer players have also traveled to Hasbro Children’s Hospital to tour The Tomorrow Fund facility and learn firsthand how they have helped these children and their families before, during, and after they battle this deadly disease.

On Sunday, Oct. 20, 2013, both the Bryant women’s and men’s soccer teams honored Former Tomorrow Fund child Stephen Unsworth Jr. and his mother Nina and Tomorrow Fund family, Megan, Chet and Donna Butler before a Bulldog soccer doubleheader. Click HERE to view a gallery from the day.
