Cincinnati native and United States women's national soccer team (USWNT) midfielder Rose Lavelle is giving back to her community this holiday season.
Lavelle tweeted on Thursday evening that she'll be hosting a meet-and-greet at the New Balance store (9329 Mason Montgomery Road) in Mason from 12-2 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 21.
She's also encouraging attendees to bring a toy to donate to Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center:
The 24-year-old midfielder for the USWNT and Washington Spirit of the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) was named to the 2019 FIFA FIFPRO World 11 – the best 11 players in the world voted on by their fellow players – following her three-goal performance in the 2019 World Cup.
Lavelle played soccer at Mount Notre Dame in high school as well as Cincinnati United Premier (CUP) before going to the University of Wisconsin. After graduating from Wisconsin in 2017, Lavelle joined the NWSL.
