Pics From Grassroot Soccer United Event

The Ironmen hosted an event Monday to benefit Ethan Zohn's Grassroot Soccer. Zohn is in the midst of a three month, 550-mile dribbling tour that is aimed at raising money and awareness to help combat the HIV/AIDS pandemic in Africa. The 2-mile Newark leg of the tour started in Lincoln Park, moved along Broad and Mulberry Streets and ended in the Prudential Center. Dribbling honors went to a procession consisting of Ironmen players, local youth and Newark Councilman Oscar James.

The Local Fe26 was present at the event. Below are some of the pictures that we snapped along the way. Click on each image to enlarge. You can check out many more of our pictures from Monday's event here.
