Seattle Sounders Coach Sigi Schmid Spoke at Invest in Youth Breakfast Seattle Sounders Head Coach Sigi Schmid was the keynote speaker at a very successful 2010 Invest in Youth Breakfast on March 3rd. Over 775 came together to celebrate kids, families, courage and hope. We thank Coach Schmid and the Eastside community for helping to raise over $325,000 for the YES Lifeline Fund, which covers the cost of uncompensated care and under-funded services.
You can still donate to the breakfast, and help insure all kids get the help they need, regardless of ability to pay. Click here to donate.
