• Cyndi Egger and Jane Flaherty: These ladies knocked it out of the park this year (well, actually for the last 3 and 4 years). Not only did they help fundraise 20K for the Girls Soccer Program, but they are instrumental in making this entire program run and going above and beyond for the players. I am truly lucky to have them both involved. Cyndi will be leaving us with a senior kiddo this year, but Jane will have one more year with us, and they are some BIG shoes we are going to have to fill. They are the most generous people with the best mentality of putting the program and the girls first and I truly adore that about both of them and am honored to have them in my circle.
