The U.S. Soccer Foundation Celebrates a Decade of U.S. Soccer
Tuesday, February 19, 2002
Mayflower Hotel, Washington, DC

***************************************************

 In February, the U.S. Soccer Foundation will celebrate “A Decade of
U.S. Soccer,” a banquet to honor the Men’s and Women’s Olympic and World
Cup soccer teams of the past ten years, including the sensational 1999
Women's World Cup Champions.  The event will be held on February 19,
2002 at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C.  The USSF Board of
Directors would be honored if you would consider a sponsoring role.  

Proceeds of this event benefit the U.S. Soccer Foundation's Capital
Campaign to build Soccer's first National Training Center, where
America's best soccer athletes will train and prepare to represent our
country in international competitions such as the World Cup and the
Olympic Games.

Soccer is the world's most popular sport, with 200 million active
players in more than 200 countries - no other single game inspires as
many players and fans worldwide, promotes international goodwill and
understanding, and unites diverse nationalities.

The USSF, founded after the 1994 Men's World Cup that was held in the
United States, is committed to enriching young lives through soccer. 
Every USSF action focuses on providing educational opportunities,
developing public and private sector partnerships, and enhancing the
quality of life through soccer-oriented programs.  USSF grants are
working today - attracting more girls to the sport in inner cities,
providing opportunities for the physically and mentally challenged,
using soccer as a platform to promote education and reduce the high
school dropout rate, assisting local field building initiatives and
developing our future national players.

The banquet will celebrate the growth of soccer and the Foundation's
contributions to communities across the country.  Phil Anschutz,
Chairman and CEO of The Anschutz Corporation, and U.S. Chamber
President, Tom Donohue, will co-chair the event. Cokie Roberts will act
as Mistress of Ceremonies.  We are pleased to present this significant
event in the Nation's capital.  Our athletes are a symbol of America's
strength and pride and we will honor them proudly.

As you may be aware, the Foundation has also been very active in the
development of soccer fields across the country, including the cleanup
and reuse of Brownfields and Superfund sites as recreational areas.  In
fact, earlier this year, the Foundation jointly-sponsored a highly
successful conference in Washington, DC focusing on the reuse of these
types of sites.

The Foundation thanks you for your consideration of this request.
