Our goal is to generate not just with this event, but with multiple events in the future, but starting off with this event to raise enough capital to be able to extend fields and hopefully be able to entice parents or coaches to come to the community, to be able to build more teams, so that way there are no kids that are left behind and not able to join a team.” says Castano on why he’s hosting the event.
