BOSTON, October 5 – As part of its season-long Santander Soccer Scholars sweepstakes that recognizes the outstanding academic achievements of New England students, Santander Bank honored Camden Lander, age 9, of Seekonk, Massachusetts on October 4th with a school visit to George R. Martin Elementary School from defender Darrius Barnes, midfielder Scott Caldwell, and goalkeepers Matt Turner, Brad Knighton and Cody Cropper of the New England Revolution. The grand prize school visit included a soccer skills clinic with Revolution coaches and a Q&A and autograph session with the players.
Eric Lander, Camden’s father, nominated his son for his commitment to learning and working through his special education curriculum that assists with speech and expressive language development. The nomination highlighted Camden’s passion for his extracurricular activities as well, including soccer.
In addition to the grand prize school visit, Camden also received $500 towards his educational future and an unforgettable VIP Revs match day experience.
