“ASSIST FROM CONNOR” Scholarship Program Mill Valley Soccer Club(MVSC)

April 26^th, 2005

The Connor Bell Memorial Scholarship Fund (CBF) was created as a result of the tragic death of nine year-old Connor Davis Bell, one of Mill Valley’s 2004 Class 3 players. Within hours of Connor’s passing on August 18th, 2004, the family requested the creation of a competitive league scholarship program in Connor’s memory to ensure that every child with the ability and desire to play Class 1 or 3 soccer has the opportunity to do so - - regardless of their financial resources. We are writing to ask for your help in fulfilling this overarching goal for MVSC competitive soccer.

As of 8/18/06, the Connor Bell Fund ("Assist from Connor") has received 254 individual contributions totaling $46,676. Invested, the fund is close to $55,000.

MVSC Competitive League Scholarship Fund Distributions: (please contact Sandy Murray for inquiries)
2005 6 players $2400,
2006 5 players $2400.

Thank you to all of you who contributed large and small to comfort Connor's Family and extended circle of friends. Please continue to keep them ALL in your thoughts and daily prayers. Flowers are being placed at the Alto Field Memorial today in memory of Connor.

As of 12/18/07, the fund has received 273 contributions totaling $57,437 (including earned interest). Awards made for the 2007 season were $5000 covering 10 players.

Kind Regards,
The CBF Advisory Board
