CASL Makes Assist Overseas

One of CASL's New Year's resolutions is to share the different ways that CASL is a presence within our community. Fortunately, we have resources in our players, teams, coaches and club that even allow CASL to have an impact at the international level. Many of our teams compete in international competition and many international teams often make their way to the CASL visitRaleigh.com National Soccer Series. We are fortunate to have an international spotlight, and we continue to build this foundation through community assists at the international level.

Recently, Arunava (Ron) Sanyal, who is part of CASL's FIFA Fair Play Diversity Committee and  is instrumental in bringing CASL's Friendship Cup to life each summer, spent time  in Pandua, West Bengal helping host a futbol carnival/celebration for youth.

CASL also recently donated 291 lbs of gently used soccer equipment to Helping Haiti and Soccer (HANDS). This equipment was collected through the donation bins located at WRAL Soccer Center. HANDS supplies orphanages, impoverished children, and abandoned youth of Haiti the opportunity to experience the game of soccer. CASL donated equipment, including soccer balls, clothes, old jerseys/shorts, socks, and cleats will be donated to orphanages, soccer teams and clubs in Haiti. Thanks to all of you who donated your gently used soccer gear. We will continue to update you on where your donations go throughout this  year!
