BLEVE
An indoor soccer tournament for Charity
The Soccer BLEVE was created in 1998 by a Seattle FireFighter. The goal of the tournament is to bring together members of the Fire, Police, EMS, and military communities and their families and friends in a fun setting while doing something positive for the community we live in. In it's 13th season, the tournament has raised over $55,000 for local charities.
