COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – The Coldwater High School soccer program is teaming up with Spanco, a St. Paul non-denominational organization, to collect and deliver soccer gear to children of Ghana, Africa. Old cleats, uniforms, shinguards, socks, goalkeeper gloves and jerseys, warmups, balls, and any other soccer related items will be collected at Coldwater’s home games Tuesday night.
A collection bin will also be outside the Coldwater High Athletic Director’s office all week, as well as at the Branch County AYSO complex this Saturday and Sunday.
The items will then be taken to the Detroit area to be combined with other collections from around the state, and then shipped to Ghana later this month.
