Marshall, IL -(Effingham Radio)- On January 21, 2021, the group 100 Women Who Care Marshall, Illinois meet virtually. 100 Women Who Care is a group that of women who care deeply about their community. A 100 WWC group gathers 4 times a year for a one-hour meeting and each member writes a $100 check to the charity that the group selects. This combined donation makes a real impact, without time consuming fundraising events and planning. The mission and hope of 100 WWC is to provide for those in greatest need in the local community.
The Marshall Area Soccer Kids (MASK) was the first winner for 2021. Marshall Area Soccer Kids (M.A.S.K.) was founded in 1998 to provide children in the Marshall area with another opportunity to learn sportsmanship and teamwork through the game of soccer. Soccer also provides young people with an opportunity for physical fitness and a way to channel energy in a positive direction. MASK offers a split season that begins in the fall and concludes in the spring. On average 165 young people participate in soccer each season. Due to COVID-19, both seasons, Spring and Fall 2020 were cancelled.
MASK’s purpose is to operate soccer programs where young people can learn to develop positive character traits, have positive learning experiences, and reach their potential. Also, to promote and stimulate interest in the game of soccer. Player Development – Emphasis on the development of players at all levels. Good Sportsmanship – Create good sportsmanship through a positive learning environment. Positive Coaching – Encourage kids to have fun. Everyone Plays – Our goals it for the kids to play soccer. Open Registration – Our program is open to all children. Opportunities – Allow kids to play to their potential.
