There
will be a Quad-Cities alumni soccer tournament on Dec. 27-28 to benefit Rock
Island girls' soccer coach Conan Dalton, who is battling a recurrence of brain
cancer. All proceeds from "Kicks for Conan" will be donated to his
family to offset his medical bills.
The
event will have a 30-and-over and 30-and-under bracket of alumni teams. There
also are sponsorship opportunities for those who want to help.
Dalton
was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2008. During his fight, he has encountered
two operations. A recent surveillance visit with his oncologist revealed three
lesions on his brain, resulting in chemotherapy sessions in Iowa City.

more information, contact Amy Kent at 309-236-2544 or ankent39@gmail.com.

(Correction
from Amy: The paper today stated that this event was set to be at the end of
October. That date is wrong. The correct date is at the end of December.
December 27th and December 28!)
