Thanks to all those who helped make RHS boys' soccer fundraiser a success

It is true that it takes a community to raise a child. And the Royal High School boys' soccer team wants to thank those in the community that helped raise funds for the team at Comedy Night.

The night was a huge success in great part due to professional comedian Jerry Corley and local actor Ryan Gesell- both past Royal High School soccer players- who generously donated their time and talents making the evening a night to remember.
