They came, they donated, and they ran and so went the July 9th South Bay Force jog-a-thon.  As we’ve said all along, YOU are the energy behind this event and based on the several hundred SBF players, coaches, parents, and siblings that showed up, everyone had fun and raised money in support of the Club and player scholarships. 

SBF Director of Coaching, Todd Saldana had this to say (after he caught his breath) about the event " Its fantastic to see so many boys and girls from ages 6 to 18, and parents, coming together to focus on a single goal, single purpose.  That kind of committment clearly demonstrates why South Bay Force is a team dedicated to excellence and focusing on the betterment of its members."   

Added Karina Rodriguez, "Today’s jog-a-thon was a great way to raise money for the Club.  It was exciting and fun.  It was also a great way to interact with players on my team and with players of all ages in the club.  I would love to do it again next year."

And Alexa H, 10 years old agrees, " I ran 14 laps with my friends.  I never knew there were so many kids playing soccer at South Bay Force.  It was really cute seeing the 6 and 7 year olds running around the track.  They were having so much fun and doing so much to help others.  I can’t wait to do this again next year.

here’s a few pictures of the jog-a-thon, many more are posted on Facebook.

 Stay tuned, we expect to have the final results in just a week or two - this is the part where we find out just how successful we were!
