Making dreams come true for young soccer fans with cancer.
The Craig Willinger Fund was created to show young soccer fans fighting cancer that dreams and amazing experiences can still be part of their future. We honor these special fans with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see their favorite team - domestic or international - play on their home pitch or another unique soccer venue.

"The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away."
- Pablo Picasso
Yesterday Grant Wahl's family, friends and colleagues gathered in New York and virtually to celebrate his life. We were so fortunate to witness the outpouring of love and admiration for him and story upon story of how he shared his knowledge, connections and experience to help others--even those who would seemingly end up as his "competition". We mourn Grant's loss and the hole it leaves in the American and international soccer community but trust that Grant will live through all of us who love the Beautiful Game.
The Craig Willinger Fund continues to move forward in our mission to share the passion of soccer and its ability to uplift young fans facing hardship. We are thankful for those of you who believe in Craig's dream and support it through sharing our stories and funding honoree trips.

Special thanks to Sláinte Irish Pub and Restaurant for helping us honor our friend, supporter, and mentor Grant Wahl during half time of the England v France Men’s World Cup Semifinal. Many of you may not know that Grant and his wife Dr. Celine Gounder lived in Baltimore. He loved to be among the fans of the Beautiful Game at Slaínte and that is how he got to know Craig and learn about Craig’s dream of making soccer dreams come true for young fans with cancer. His support was a constant presence throughout our 13 years of service to the soccer community.
A toast in memory of Grant Wahl, friend and supporter of the Craig Willinger Fund.
