Warrington Soccer Club Tournament to Benefit Operation Homefront

The Warrington Soccer Club will host its third annual Soccer 4 Soldiers tournament this Saturday at Igoe Porter Wellings Park. It will benefit Operation Homefront, a nonprofit that provides emergency financial assistance to military families.

The day-long, four versus four soccer tournament will open at 9 a.m.

Hosted in association with the Apartment Association of Greater Philadelphia, the tournament is for players ages 7 to 15 hopes.

Money is raised for Operation Homefront through registration fees, concessions, merchandise sales and donations from the community.

“At Warrington Soccer, we believe in giving back to our community, and with so many active duty military members, wounded warriors, and veterans returning home and needing some assistance as they transition back to civilian life, often with life-changing injuries or emotional scars, we felt this was an organization we wanted to lend our support to,” said Joe McInnis, President of the Warrington Soccer Club. “We’re looking to put on a successful event this year and to grow our support in years to come.

Players from the Philadelphia Union will be signing autographs from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Registration is closed but the public is invited to IPW Park to watch the tournament and take part in the free game and other entertainment. Donations to benefit Operation Homefront will be accepted.

Warrington Soccer will present a check to Operation Homefront with the proceeds of the event at 1:30 p.m. EDT.
