Congratulations to the Maroon
Team, 5-2 winners of the 2014 (5th Annual) UOP Cup and its team
captain, Alejandro Cardenas. This year’s cup was the largest ever, with
46 participating players. The 2014 “Golden Boot” trophy goes to Kelvin
Obareti for his hat trick in the big game. Attached are photos from
the game and team party. Special thanks to our referees and linesmen (Julian Ballarin) and
to Karisma for taking most of the action photos.
About $400 raised through the
cup was donated to Unicef to purchase anti-malarial drugs for children around
the world. Once a child is infected with malaria, they have about
24 hours to reach anti-malarial treatment after which their chance of survival
decreases sharply. There are about 1 million people that die each year from
malaria and the majority are young African children. One packet of
Anti-Malarial Drugs has 30 doses which are sent to malaria-prone communities to
guard against infection. With the UOP Soccer Club donations, we were able to
purchase 13 packets and save the lives of 390 children!!!
