#LetsMakeHistory
What a fantastic night! From Washington to the World Cup on August 31 was overflowing with compelling stories of how our state’s top players helped build the U.S. Women’s National Team into FIFA’s first World Cup champion. A capacity crowd, a reunion, and such warmth filled The NINETY for almost three hours. Our thanks to all involved, from the guest panelists, our faithful patrons and, of course, our generous sponsors, led by Kaizen Financial Group and featuring Bruner Orthodontics and Crossfire Premier. Sounders FC was an impeccable host.
Of course, our event sold-out in advance, so not everyone was able to hear these tales. Soon, a video of the panel discussion will be available on our WA Legends YouTube channel. And we are already developing ideas for WA Legends events in 2020 that celebrate our state’s vibrant soccer community. Stay tuned.
In conjunction with From Washington to the World Cup, Glass Eye Studio designed and presented five original pieces, The Golden Pacific Wave, to our 1991 World Cup representatives: Michelle Akers, Shannon Cirovski (nee Higgins), Amy Griffin (nee Allmann), Lori Henry and coach Anson Dorrance.
Piper O’Neill designed The Golden Pacific Waves which were handblown by Glass Eye Studio & Idlewild Union artisan team.
