Nearly 1000 people attended the Lou City & Racing Foundation Fourth Annual Soccer Ball on Tuesday evening.

The Soccer Ball serves as one of the main fundraising opportunities for the foundation and is also very fun.

Here are Elizabeth and I with Ray Serrano and his wife Jennifer who were seated at our table. The table directly behind us sat several other Lou City players.

Our dedicated and committed introvert, Elizabeth was brave enough to grab some selfies. Here she is with Aiden McFadden, who is an absolute delight off the pitch. (On the pitch his demeanor is definitely all business.)

“New favorite” Adrien Perez

“Favorite classic” Kyle Adams

Here is Elizabeth showing Josh Jones one of her favorite pictures she took of him while Kevon Lambert looks on.

Fisher and Sears being the H and I in Ohio…O!H!I!O!

I never get the chance to take pictures with my favorite players, but since I was technically off duty, I grabbed a quick selfie with Emma Sears. I swear she isn’t actually taller than me.

Here is me with Lo, who I am definitely taller than.

The Soccer Ball is also an excuse for me to buy a purple themed outfit from Amazon each year.
