As we’ve talked a bit about several times in the last few weeks, Andy Williams and his family have recently been struck by a very serious health issues regarding Andy’s wife Marcia. Just a couple months ago, Marcia was diagnosed with a very rare form of Leukemia and her course of treatment calls for an aggressive and comprehensive series of treatments. Due to the complex nature of the treatments, the out-of-pocket expenses to the Williams family will be very high. As a member of the Real Salt Lake family, we’d like to lend a helping hand to Andy and his family.

Tomorrow’s a perfect opportunity to get started. In coordination with Soccer Unites, Real Salt Lake will be present at the Juan Diego and Judge Memorial soccer team fundraiser. The two teams are setting aside their heated rivalry to lend a helping hand to the Williams family. Join us at Juan Diego where the two teams will host an evening full of fun, soccer-themed events with all proceeds from the night benefiting the Soccer Unites cause.

The night’s slate kicks off at 6:00 p.m. when the boys teams from Juan Diego and Judge face off in a 20-minute match. After the boys’ match, the girls will take the pitch. Each team has spent the past several weeks selling $5 tickets to the night’s event. upon game time, the team that has sold the most tickets will have the honor of being coached by RSL Head Coach Jason Kreis. Not to be ignored however, the opposing team will be joined on the sideline by another member of the RSL coaching staff.

The soccer’s not done after the girls finish up though, as the final match of the evening will pit a celebrity team against a squad of former RSL players and reserves. The celebrity squad will be led by Good Things Utah’s Angie Larsen and several of the players scheduled to appear include Jacque Rimando (former professional player and wife of Nick Rimando), former RSL stars Brian Dunseth and Brian Kamler, along with the entire RSL coaching staff. This could be a match slightly more heated than your average celebrity affair, you won’t want to miss it.

And what could be a better way to wrap up the evening than with a little music? Everyone who sticks around after the matches will be treated to a little jam session with current RSL players Kyle Beckerman, Chris Wingert,  and Nik Besagno, as well as former RSL man Seth Trembly. Sounds like a perfect cherry on top of a wonderful evening

So to wrap things up - Tuesday night 6:00 p.m., Juan Diego High School Stadium (300 East 11800 South, Draper), $5 per person, and a big heart. See you there…
