The other benefactor of the night will be the local Division 1 Champions, the SCFC Wolves. The South Charleston Futbol Club has been around for a 6 years now. Once a club made up of 4 squads, the strongest talent was pooled and filtered to the Wolves. Some teams dissolved, while others broke away, and currently the Wolves are the only team representing South Charleston FC. The Wolves have been to many league and tournament "finals". Coming away as runner-ups more than a few times. But with the positive growth and even more positive attitudes, the team has hit their stride and are starting to pull away from the pack more and more. With absolutely remarkable performances in all of 2009, and the second half of 2010; they have come away as 3 times CSL Division 1 League Winners, twice the CSL D1 Cup Winners, Copa Charleston winners, and the CSL 6v6 D1 Champs. With their eye on the 2011 state title, the team is hungry for more success. With a strong core, the team is poised to climb to the tip-top of the Charleston Soccer League, and hope to become the champions in the next edition of the CSL's Premier Division in Spring 2011.
The team is currently looking for sponsorship of their 2011 campaign. This fundraiser will definitely help to cover some of their administrative costs. The league and tournament costs rise from year to year, and currently total around $5k for the year. Any help is welcome.
If you are interested in sponsoring the team, please contact Alex Voelker @ asmv1423@aol.com
