⚽️ Event Overview

Marcus Kayal Legacy4Life brings you the 5th annual Miles4Marcus fundraising challenge.

🕊️ About Marcus Kayal

Marcus Kayal was a Mahwah High School student and member of the Boys Soccer family who passed away in December of 2019. Marcus had a passion for the game of soccer and always pushed himself to play at the highest level. While he excelled in sport, Marcus was a young man who also put a tremendous amount of focus towards his academics and was highly respectful to all people that he interacted with. On the field, Marcus wore #4. The name of the event, and its purpose are designed to reflect the values that Marcus brought to the community and soccer program, on and off the field.
