Just one day before Father’s Day, a strong whistle starts the exhibition game hold by professional soccer players from Mexico and Hollywood’s United team in Casa Magna (Marriott Resort and Spa in Puerto Vallarta) followed by a cocktail toast and a autograph session.
Casa Magna Marriot Resort and Spa is making an effort to open up a homeless shelter for youngsters and teenagers that have nowhere to go but to exploitation or unhealthy corners of the other sides of Vallarta.
On Father’s Day, the special guests take part in a Golf Tournament at the VistaVallarta Golf Course.
You will find players like Eric Wynalda, member of the National Soccer Hall of Fame, Frank Leboeuf, who won the ’98 Fifa World Cup and Vinnie Jones, now acting in movies like Swordfish, X-Men 3 and Juggernaut Roal taking part on this charity event in Puerto Vallarta. There were uncountable more celebrities taking part and teaching all kinds of soccer tips to the only 50 children chosen to learn and practice some soccer moves from these famous champions during the soccer clinics.
Marriot International has over 2,800 lodging properties in the US and over 60 around the world operating and franchising hotels under brand names like JW Marriot, The Ritz, Renaissance Inn, Courtyard, Fairfield Inn and SpringHill
