WHS Boys Soccer Collecting Equipment for Brazil Teams This Week

The Westfield High School boys soccer team will be collecting equipment and apparel for soccer teams in Brazil this week.

The donations will be taken with the team as part of their summer training trip to Brazil. The donations will be given to disadvantaged children in Brazil in order to help develop their soccer skills.

Ryan Heine, the donation coordinator, said the team is looking for any types of equipment and apparel that can be donated to the teams. This includes cleats, shinguards, socks, jerseys, balls and shorts, along with any other soccer related equipment. Items should either be new or gently used.

Items can be dropped off this week in collection boxes in the lobbies of Westfield High School, Edison Intermediate School, Roosevelt Intermediate School, Franklin School and Washington School. The boxes will be available during the school day and shortly after school ends each day.

Residents having questions about the donation drive can contact Heine at heine.ryan@gmail.com or by phone at 908-868-3433.
