"Join us in a fun-filled day as we celebrate the life of Alton Soccer's Founding Father Charlie Nasello," organizers said in a release. "There will be 3v3 Soccer Tournaments for each age group with an entry fee of $25 for a team of 5, and $10 dollars for a single entry.
"Food/drinks/entertainment, basket raffles, and a 50/50 drawing will be included as well. Alton Mayor David Goins will be in attendance with a proclamation to make the 14th of August Charlie Nasello Day."
Mayor Goins said he is excited about Charlie Nasello Day. "It is a very nice gesture to his surviving family to celebrate his life," Goins added.
Nasello died in October 2020. All proceeds from this event will go toward the Nasello Memorial Fund, a program that provides soccer equipment to children who cannot afford it.
