Doug DeRose Memorial Scholarship Presentation:
At Game Day we will also be awarding the Doug DeRose Scholarship. The Doug DeRose Scholarship is awarded annually to one boy and one girl on a current CA United U14 team. Applications will be reviewed an awards made based on some of the many wonderful qualities Doug brought to CA United, including determination, positive attitude, fair play, support of teammates, love for soccer, a sense of humor, and overall citizenship. This is not intended as a needs-based scholarship. Scholarship recipients may use their awards for any soccer-related activity, ranging from club fees and soccer camps to training and GLASRA referee certification fees. Donations to the Doug DeRose Scholarship fund can also be made at any time by contacting Pat Wolf at pwolf@acm.org. Your generosity is greatly appreciated.
