Game to benefit son of LA Fitness victim

Here is a nice touch of kindness by the Chartiers Valley soccer boosters.

Chartiers Valley soccer player Ian Overmeier lost his mother, Heidi, when she was slain in the LA Fitness shooting in early August. The Chartiers Valley soccer boosters are dedicating the first home game of the season to Overmeier's mother and also hoping to raise funds for Ian's future educational needs.

The boosters are inviting the Chartiers Valley community to attend the Tuesday, Sept. 8 game against McGuffey (7:30 start). Proceeds from the game and other events that night will benefit the Ian Overmeier Trust Fund. Donations can also be made directly to any PNC branch in the name of the Ian Overmeier Trust Fund.

Ian Overmeier is a sophomore on the Chartiers Valley team.
