THank you for your Support at the 3rd Annual #Roar4Rare Family Soccer GameS
Play, Support or Volunteer: It's fitting that we honor Luka's spirit by playing his favorite game, for more about Luka's story, click here to watch our videos.
It all started when...
Uncle Seth and Aunt Dey Dey had the idea for a pick-up soccer game when they were visiting North Carolina from their home in France. At the time, we were wondering what would become our annual fundraiser event for the Luka The Lion Foundation. It was right there in front of us the entire time! While the original July 2016 pick-up game had to be rescheduled due to a heat advisory, it has gained momentum and evolved into our flagship annual event for Luka The Lion Foundation to support kids with rare diseases and their families so nobody ever feels alone. We love soccer so much it has helped us not feel alone when we were home in isolation with Luka or at the hospital cheering on Arsenal as a team of Gooners. The rest is history with the 1st annual game in November 2016 bringing in 150 people and another game in France in August 2017. Kids with rare diseases and their families thank you for your ROAR!
