The club was honored that on Mar. 5, the 2014 New York City Soccer Gala chose to recognize Ben Boehm, a long-time BWG contributor.
After he was introduced by Bruce Beck of NBC Sports, Boehm received a standing ovation and then delivered a powerful speech.
Based in Queens, BWG is an elite US soccer club, and Boehm has been a large part of that success.
“The most expensive toys will keep the cats busy for a little time, but if you give them a paper ball cats will play the entire day.” Boehm said.
“There is no difference with the kids, just give them the ball and let them play soccer, because that is what they want to do.”
