Doing Good: MSU Men’s Soccer

We not only love doing good here at Name.com, but we also love to hear when others in our community are doing good. So when customer and friend, Chris Folk, pointed us to a site he is managing (with Name.com of course!) for a very special event happening at Missouri State University this week, we thought we’d share.

For the second year, MSU is hosting a special game, now named “Living OUR Legacy: Pride. Pastime. Patriots.” The event is a unique venture between the Athletics department and an undergraduate academics course to benefit both the school and the community. Last year they received enough cash and food donations to help the Ozarks Food Harvest provide almost 800 meals to people in need.

This year, the goal is not just to set a school attendance record for a men’s soccer game, but also to honor past and present military personnel through ceremony and charity. The 2010 Legacy game will donate $1 of every ticket purchased to Ozarks Honor Flight — a non-profit organization dedicated to transporting World War II veterans to the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C., in honor of their service and their sacrifice.

If you’re in the Springfield, MO area, you can check out more details about the MSU event here. And if you live elsewhere, but are still interested in donating to Ozarks Honor Flight, you can do so on their website here. Unfortunately we can’t make it to the game, but we’re happy to say that Name.com has made a donation to help support this great cause. 🙂

Doing good and want to tell us about it? We’d love to hear from you.
