Earthquakes In The Community

-Earthquakes All-Star midfielder Richard Mulrooney was in Milipitas last Saturday afternoon, signing autographs at the Metro PAL Soccer Tournament at Hall Park. Mulrooney signed autographs and gave pointers to the Under 10 and Under 12 boys and girls players.

-Mulrooney and Quakes teammates Joe Cannon, Jon Conway and Jimmy Conrad attended the PASS (Promoting Achievement in School through Sport) Program Benefit in San Francisco at the California Culinary Academy on November 19. The benefit raised funds for the PASS Program, which is a year course that shows middle and high school students how to utilize the study and practice of sport to improve their academic and athletic skills. The program creates a sense of place and belonging, focus, discipline, leadership, responsibility and compassion in students. PASS and PASS-based programs will be presented to students in the Bay Area, Portland, Los Angeles, Chicago and Raleigh. All Pass Programs have been developed by the non-profit, Marin based American Sports Institute, which is dedicated to serving humankind through sport and physical education.
