We Are Thankful for Our Member Athletes

November has come to a close and Thanksgiving has passed and yet we are still reflecting on how thankful we are for all of our wonderful member athletes. This year we highlighted a few of those athletes on social media as a special thanks. These individuals went above and beyond in giving their time on several occasions this year and some even got their whole team involved! We truly appreciate everyone that gave back this year and are looking forward to continuing that positive momentum in 2016!

We are so #thankful for all of our 2000+ member athletes. For the next few days we will be highlighting some of the awesome individuals that have given their time to others this year – athletes like Samantha Johnson of the #Chicago Red Stars. Samantha spent time doing arts and crafts with the kids at Lurie Children’s Hospital. Thank you Samantha for giving back and thank you for being an AFH Athlete! #grateful #thanksgiving #athlete #soccer
