Don Herbst
Don was one of the founders of the Tonawanda Soccer Club and served as Treasurer for 26 years. It was Don's idea in 1981 to start a house league program that would make soccer available to all boys and girls regardless of athletic ability. That philosophy is what the Tonawanda Soccer Club is all about. Don was one of the most caring and dedicated individuals to have ever served the children of the City of Tonawanda. His passing away on July 23, 2005 is a great loss for all of us. His memory will be kept alive in the annual scholarship provided to graduating seniors that play for but also have volunteered their time for our club.
