We're Back! Giving Opportunities to Athletes who Love Soccer.

The Pieters Family Life Center is excited to announce its third annual GOALS program in partnership with the Rochester Rhinos. GOALS - Giving Opportunities to Athletes who Love Soccer-provides an opportunity for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, as well as their siblings, friends and family members to play soccer with professional athletes while being part of a supportive and fun soccer community.


We're going to kick off the 2012 season on Wednesday, March 7th with a reunion dinner at Salenas Mexican Restaurant. We encourage all past GOALS team members, and their friends and family, to join us between 5:00 pm and 7:00 pm. Not only will you see friends from past GOALS seasons, you'll also help raise money to support the GOALS program. The owners of Salenas are generously donating 20% of each sale to GOALS. The money raised will support our end of the season banquet at the Pieters Family Life Center on Tuesday, August 21st.

Here's How the Fundraiser Works
1. 20% of any food sale on Wednesday, March 7th will be donated to GOALS.
2. A GOALS coupon (which can be found here) must be presented at time of payment.
3. We encourage you to print out and share coupons with friends, family, and co-workers and encourage them to visit Salenas knowing their purchase will support a great soccer program.

Reunion Information
While the fundraiser at Salenas is good all day, we are encouraging GOALS team members to join us anytime between 5:00 pm and 7:00 pm. Rochester Rhinos Assistant Coach, and GOALS champion, Bill Sedgewick and other members of the Rhinos will be joining us during this time.
Be sure to wear your GOALS jerseys! We look forward to seeing you!
