Operation Give is a Success!

The State Cup finals marked the culmination of a several week long campaign to collect donations of gently used soccer gear for Operation Give to send to needy children in Iraq. We are glad to report that our operation was a complete success!

Utah Youth Soccer Association (UYSA) members donated new and used cleats, balls, water bottles, and clothing to the cause. The UYSA office donated new t-shirts from tournaments past. Operation Give President and Founder, Paul Holton, also know as Chief Wiggles, came out with volunteers to thank everyone for their donations.

Special thanks go out to all of the UYSA members who took their time to collect soccer gear and donate it, to the Operation Give members who helped us with the event, and to the media who covered our story. Please see below for a list of media coverage and visit the link to the Deseret News article.

Thank you!
