When contemplating about the right cause to support for this season’s My Cause My Cleats, Daryl had to think no further than his own family. His uncles, Kevin and Chris, and his cousins, Adam and Cherie, mean the world to Daryl, and he knew how important Spence-Chapin had been in their story and in helping to bring their family together. And the more Daryl learned about Spence-Chapin, the more inspired he was to support the organization. 

Daryl’s long career in athletic training and support has shown him the ways that the mental, spiritual, and physical all work together. In his current position, it is his role to foster that connection, to connect those dots, for the players and the support team. He recognized right away that Spence-Chapin was doing the same thing for the children, women, and families they serve. Throughout all of their services and program areas, there is holistic support, accompanied with dignity, respect, transparency, and care—all values that Daryl also holds dear. 

The partnership was natural, and Daryl and Spence-Chapin are delighted to be working together to raise awareness around the important work of connecting and supporting families through adoption, and advocating for vulnerable children around the world.
