’99 CASL Wake Forest United Blue and ’98 CASL Cardinals Team-up to Spread Some Holiday Joy
On an icy December 19 morning, players from two of CASL’s teams and their siblings delivered a truck full of furniture, mattresses, food, clothing, household items, jackets, computers and gift cards to eight new families to the Triangle area. The children in each of the adopted families, which totaled 23, received wrapped new article of clothing and toy. Each family also received a wrapped gift.
This outreach program was initiated by one of the Wake Forest United Blue parents, Lawson Williams. The two teams were given an opportunity to sponsor a group of families who are refugees that have been relocated to America from Burma. They are of the Karen ("kar-IN") sect of the Burmese people. They were living in refugee camps along the Burma/Thailand border and persecuted for their religious beliefs. After years of appeals to the UN, they finally declared the living conditions of the Karen people inhumane and asked several countries around the world to take in thousands of these refugees.

CASL Coaches Volunteer to Teach Soccer Skills to Special Needs Children
A group of 12 CASL Coaches have been volunteering for the past two season to teach special need children soccer at the factory in Wake Forest. The group works with about 20 children and provides instruction in basic soccer skills and facilitates small sided games. The kids have a great time and it’s been a heart warming experience for the coaches and parents. The program has been most effective when we can pair the kids and coaches one-on-one.
If you’d like to volunteer or for more information, please contact Mark Francher, one of our CASL Coaches at markf@qualcomm.com
The program is sponsored by Abilitations, a physical therapy group specializing in caring for special needs children.
