For the sixth year, the Whitewater Kiwanis Breakfast Club has donated to Whitewater United FC (formerly Whitewater Youth Soccer Club). On May 18, Tony Aranda, Head Coach of the U15 Select boys team and Vice President of Whitewater United FC, invited the Whitewater Kiwanis to attend a U15 Whitewater vs U15 Croatian Eagles (Milwaukee) soccer game at Whitewater High School. It was a tough, hard fought game resulting in a tie score of 1-1. The Whitewater U8 team was invited on to the field at halftime to play as well.
Tony Aranda has been a leader in the Whitewater United FC club for 16 years. Whitewater United FC has 12 teams of kids from ages 4 to 14 who host their home games at Moraine View Park. For 28 years the league has been encouraging young soccer players to develop a love of soccer and teamwork.
The attached photo features the U15 Select Boys team, along with (left to right) Kiwanian Ed Schweitzer, Head Coach and Vice President of Whitewater United FC Tony Aranda, Kiwanian President Patrick Taylor and Kiwanian Jerry Grant. Aranda accepted the $1,500 donation from Kiwanis on behalf of the Whitewater United. The donation will be used for a new set of goals for U8 at Moraine View Park.
