Watch the 2010 Soccer Ball Video

Wow! What a Soccer Ball! We'd like to thank Optimus for putting together another incredible video for the event. This was yet another record-breaking year thanks to our wonderful supporters. This was our highest grossing year to date and, we feel, the best Soccer Ball party ever.

The evening seemed to work so beautifully with many old and new friends in attendance, tons of folks on the dance floor, table sponsors spoiled by the lovely reserved area, lots of laughs and smiles at the photo booth, great beer tasting with Goose Island, amazing food thanks to J and L Catering, Storck and Kim & Scott's Gourmet Pretzels, and tons of buzz around the best auction ever. So thank you to all who helped make this such an amazing evening!
