Fox Valley Auto Group Sponsors “Kicks For Cancer Soccer Tournament

It’s always great to make a dream come true and the Fox Valley Auto Group did just that on June 28th. The group sponsored a “Kicks for Cancer” soccer tournament to raise money and awareness for Cal’s Angels Youth Cancer Foundation.

The event was a huge success as the community of St. Charles came together to help a great cause and have fun at the same time.  The highlight of the day's festivities was the 3 on 3 soccer tournament. 

But a contest involving a Fox Valley Volkswagen Beetle stuffed with an unknown amount of soccer balls had children of all ages guessing the correct number. 6 year-old Abe Leidig of St. Charles was the winner with a guess of 58-only two away from the correct total of 60!  The lucky winner went home with a brand new Apple I-pad 2.

Founded in 2007, Cal’s Angels aims to better the lives of children facing pediatric cancer by granting wishes, providing financial assistance to both patients and families and hosting various events such as toy drives and hospital parties.  The Fox Valley Auto Group is dedicated to the welfare of the communities in which they do business and this event is just another example of this commitment.
