FULLERTON, Calif. – Cal State Fullerton Men's Soccer hosted its inaugural Fútbol Family Fundraiser on Saturday, April 29th at the Golleher Alumni House. The team, along with family, friends, fans, and alumni gathered to raise funds for the program and honor Al Mistri, former head coach (1981-2005) who was the evening's keynote speaker.
"This event was the start of something very special - a reunion of Titans Men's Soccer alumni and families - and it was wonderful to see the connection felt by those in attendance," head coach George Kuntz said. "I personally would like to thank coach Mistri, all of the men's soccer alumni and their families, table sponsors, our current student-athletes and their families, our silent and live auction donors, and our Titans administrators and staff, both past and present, who helped make this event both memorable and successful."
Through the generosity of donations, ticket purchases, table sponsorships, and participation in both the silent and live auction, the event raised over $25,000 for the men's soccer program.
"Our team hopes to bring honor to our Fútbol Family and the alumni that have been a part of this storied program," Coach Kuntz continued. "We are grateful for Coach Mistri's words, his telling of our history, his leadership, and his nurturing of the program. His legacy continues with every student-athlete he has coached. This event is paramount to continuing to grow our program. We look forward to making incredible memories in the future, as well as raising funds to support our student-athletes, and continue to make CSUF Men's Soccer one of the most competitive in the nation."
The Titans plan to honor the 30th anniversary of the 1993 Men's Soccer Final Four team at Titan Stadium on Saturday, October 28th. More information to come.
