Donovan played goalie in a soccer game in which over 750 players attempted to set a record for the World's Largest Soccer Game. This year, on April 17 at 8 p.m., students, faculty, staff, and community members hope to attract over 1,000 participants to the SUNY-Oneonta All-Weather Field to honor Donovan in the year of his retirement, by playing in a game that may set a new record for the World's Largest Soccer Game, according to a college press release. The event, the proceeds of which will support the newly established Alan B. Donovan Scholarship at SUNY-Oneonta, is open to all, and members of the community are invited to participate. Volunteers are being sought to assist with the event and to play in the game. The World's Largest Soccer Game 2008 is being organized by a group of SUNY-Oneonta students, faculty, and staff, led by Student Association President Jared Lefkowitz. More information about the World's Largest Soccer Game 2008 is available at www.oneonta.edu/wlsg, or from the Student Association at 436-2440.
