Connor Bell

In Rememberance

On Tuesday, August 17, 2004 at a U-10 team soccer practice, Connor Bell sustained a severe head injury as a result of an accidental collision during normal course of play. He was attended to immediately and transported by helicopter to Children's Hospital & Research Center in Oakland. However, he was unable to regain consciousness and passed away on Wednesday evening with his family by his side.

Our entire community was stricken by this incredible event. The children of Mill Valley are much beloved and belong to all of us. Connor was a very special child, known for his keen love of soccer, his enthusiasm and zest for life, and his wonderful family. Connor's passing was a tragedy for all of us.

In memory of Connor, our friend and soccer teammate, the Mill Valley Soccer Club has established a competitive league scholarship fund in his honor. This scholarship will provide financial assistance to those competitive league players who, like Connor, love the game and who would benefit through an "assist" from Connor. The family would welcome all who would like to participate in the support and funding of this scholarship as a way of celebrating Connor's life.

As the Bell family does - please keep Connor close to your heart.

Assist from Conner

Scholarship Program
Mill Valley Soccer Club

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. Please 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:
2005 6 players $2400
2006 5 players $2400
2007 10 players $5000

As of 12/18/07, the fund has received 273 contributions totaling $57,437 (including earned interest).

Kind Regards,
The CBF Advisory Board (Sandy Murray, Deborah Miller, Kim Stibich, Marty Miller, Christopher Caproni)
