In its seventh year, the Westfield men’s soccer team’s annual Shamrock Charity Challenge set a record, raising $20,000 for Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital.

The charity soccer tournament included two teams from Westfield High School, along with teams from North Central, Carmel and Cardinal Ritter high schools. Three high schools from Ohio also participated.

“Our motto this year was Many Teams, One Cause,” said Lynn Eisberg, a parent who helps organize the charity tournament. “A special tradition our senior players have is to visit the Children’s Hospital the Friday of the tournament. This is a very heartwarming event as boys from three teams took gifts for the children.”

Since its inception, the charity tournament has raised approximately $85,000 for the hospital.
