Austen Everett Foundation Honorary Captain: Lucia Carroll

During the NWSL Fall Series OL Reign, in partnership with the Austen Everett Foundation, will select an honorary team captain ahead of every match. OL Reign is proud to celebrate 10-month old Lucia Carroll as the club’s honorary captain for the September 12 match against rivals Portland Thorns FC.

Lucia battles Rhabdomiosarcoma, a rare form of cancer that attacks soft tissue. She is currently being treated at Seattle Children’s Hospital.

Lucia enjoys playing with her siblings, six-year-old Patrick and four-year-old Eirene. She lives at home with her parents Mariana and Kevin in their home in Mount Vernon.

To recognize Lucia as the club’s honorary captain, she and her siblings will receive team gear to show off their OL Reign pride, as well as a video message from OL Reign player Bethany Balcer

To recognize Liam as the club’s honorary captain, he and his brother will receive team gear to show off their OL Reign pride, as well as a video message from OL Reign player Sofia Huerta.

The Austen Everett Foundation works to empower kids in their fight against cancer through the strength and support of professional and collegiate athletic teams. Within the AEF Honorary Team Captain Program, a child battling cancer becomes the "Honorary Team Captain” for a day, providing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to benefit from the powerful support that a team environment can provide.
