Scholarship Program Mill Valley Soccer Club (MVSC)

“ASSIST FROM NINA” – April 2007

The Nina Creedman Memorial Fund (NCF) was created to honor Nina Creedman, one of Mill Valley Soccer Clubs’ talented alumni. Diagnosed with juvenile diabetes at age eight, Nina never let the disease stop her from reaching her life goals. Nina was killed in a rockslide two hours after reaching the summit of Mount Sealy in the Mount Cook National Park in New Zealand.

Within days of Nina’s death on March 24^th, 2007, former MVSC coach and close family friend Dean Jones and Nina’s parents, Michael Creedman and Nancy Bauer, approached MVSC representatives with the request to create a memorial fund.

The funds will provide financial assistance to players in the recreational soccer league and will be used to teach young children skills, good sportsmanship, and how to be a team player through the sport of soccer.

Seed money for the fund comes from an initial contribution by Nina’s MVSC coach as well as individual contributions.
