Last month, 4ATX Foundation and Austin FC partner Managed Facility Solutions (MFS) teamed up to support Austin Soccer Foundation’s scholarship program by awarding $5,000 in college scholarship money to two standout Austin-area high school soccer players, in memory of Austin soccer legend Wolfgang Suhnholz.
MFS and 4ATX Foundation presented the Wolfgang Suhnholz Memorial Scholarship funds at the 2022 Austin Soccer Foundation Awards Ceremony to Alex Bethke and Alexa Huerta.
“4ATX Foundation is proud to partner with Austin Soccer Foundation in supporting their scholarship program,” said 4ATX Foundation Executive Director Kaitlin Mauro. “We’re delighted to align with them in many ways to grow healthier communities in Central Texas through soccer.”
“Our organization takes great pride in being able to make such a positive impact with this well-deserved scholarship for both Alexa and Alex," said Haynes Dallas, CEO of Managed Facility Solutions. "The time commitment each have made to perform at such a high level both in the classroom and on the soccer field, while also being great leaders in our community, is truly remarkable. We are excited to see both recipients continue to excel as leaders in college and all future endeavors.”
