TUKWILA, Wash. -- Just moments after the end of this year’s iteration of his “Zakuani & Friends Charity Match” at Starfire Sports on Sunday, former Sounders star Steve Zakuani already found himself the recipient of some good news.
“I’ve already been told we’ve more than doubled what we [raised] last year,” Zakuani said. “So that’s double the kids, double the programs, it’s going to stretch that money a long way. I think I can hope a lot more kids this coming year. So I’m happy.
“We’ll put at least two more kids through university and at least 10 through a soccer scholarship.
