The game will be held at 2 p.m. at the Waldwick High School stadium field. (Rain date: June 30.) In 2011, the Waldwick soccer community lost one of its own when Mayer, a multi-year varsity letterman and past captain of the 2009-10 Waldwick High School Boys Varsity Soccer team, passed away at 19. In his honor, the Michael Robert Mayer Memorial Scholarship was created for those students who displayed courage, strength, and loyalty throughout a personal ordeal. Participants in the game will include players and coaches from past Waldwick High School soccer teams. Admission is $5 per person with all proceeds being used to fund a scholarship in Mayer’s memory. Sports poster sponsors sought The athletic department at Waldwick High School is seeking community sponsors for its sports poster program.
