Market Day debuts soccer fundraising at the Warrior Classic
By Gerard McLean
DAYTON - Market Day is known best for fundraising in schools, but this year, it is branching out into soccer tournaments and clubs. The Warrior Soccer Classic is the first soccer tournament to feature the soccer-specific fund-raiser.
"We met at the US Youth Soccer Convention in Pittsburgh," says Carol Maas, co-director for the Classic. "It was an instant marriage of common interest and goals." Mass added that Market Day was a good match for the 24,000 plus participants of the annual soccer tournament.
According to Kristine Holtz, 40, president and CEO for Market Day, the fundraising organization was founded in the early 1970s by Trudy Temple in response to her daughter's request for a cake for the school bake sale. Instead, Temple brought cases of fresh produce and soon found herself being asked to do the same for more schools.
"The soccer tournament fund-raising concept is just an extension of what Market Day already does well," Holtz added. "We're excited to partner with the Classic to introduce the concept to soccer."
The Warrior Soccer Classic is held every year over Memorial Day Weekend in Dayton, Oh. at Thomas Cloud Park, Oakwood Old River, Ankeney Complex and the Vandalia Soccer Fields. The Classic is hosting over 525 teams in forty-three divisions; boys, girls and amateur men and women, under 8-19. Nine hundred nine games will be played over the three-day weekend.

An Excuse to Celebrate
Mad Hatter Day
Mad Hatter Day is a day to do and say things that are usually considered absurd, but actually are very logical; and to avoid things that are considered normal, but are actually quite ludicrous. Kinda confusing, so today it should make perfect sense. Celebrate this mad holiday by doing…pretty much whatever you want. Things to do »

Get in the Halloween spirit with a ghost hunt or a haunted house tour [things to do]
Perhaps you've heard stories from Room No. 4 at the Hammel House in downtown Waynesville — the site of a gruesome 19th-century murder. Or maybe you've heard tales from the Friends (Quaker) Meeting House. A candlelight flickers in the window, perhaps signaling long-dead conductors on the Underground Railroad. With more than 30 haunted houses, Chris Woodyard of Beavercreek, author of the "Haunted Ohio" book series, says Waynesville is easily the "most haunted town in Ohio." Call and schedule a haunted tour, and maybe you'll spot some ghosts. More »
