The HDS Eagles Soccer Academy recently hosted another unforgettable Valentine’s Gala at the beautifully arranged Jolly Inn, with the lively atmosphere set by the ever-reliable DJ Seba. The official part of the evening included heartfelt acknowledgments to our dedicated coaches and generous sponsors: Fakro, Ecometal, Heritage Stitch & Prints, Baczyński Masonry, Crafts, Beata Nowak from Exit Real Estate, Fimla, and many other kind-hearted individuals who support us daily.
The night was filled with joy, lasting until 2 AM and beyond. The highlight of the event was an exciting raffle and auction. A signed jersey of Piotr Zieliński, featuring autographs from the entire squad that secured qualification for the European Championship, was graciously donated by Maciek Chorążyk. The winning bid of $1,600 came from Bartek Baczyński. Additionally, a jersey signed by the world's best football player was auctioned off for $1,700, with Jose Gomez placing the highest bid, all thanks to Greg Gesicki from Fakro.
We extend our sincere gratitude for the prizes and support provided by Home Depot Kimball, Aga, the parents of the 2010 and 2011 teams, Arek from Crafts, Kris Markiewicz from Ecometal, Sylwia Dziekan from Dreams Team Agency and Dreams 4 Travel, Aneta Dabrowski, Baczyński Masonry, Michał Tracewicz, Jacek Moździerz from My Keeper Academy, and Grzegorz Jędrzejewski.
Special recognition goes to the international scouting team "Gramy dla Polski," Maciek Chorążyk, Piotr Sala from Vistula, Piotr Polański from Lake Shore, and guests from Canada who honored us with their presence. We also appreciate Marek Łoś, owner of My Keeper Academy, recognized as the best goalkeeper school.
The gala’s prestige was further elevated by the presence of top journalists, including Darek Cisowski from Dziennik Związkowy and Daniel Bociaga from Radio 103.7. It was truly a night to remember for the HDS Eagles Soccer Academy community.
