The Benedictine University men's soccer team held a special signing ceremony on Friday to welcome Team IMPACT member Simon to the team. 

Team IMPACT'S unique program matches children facing serious illness and disability with college athletic teams across the country. The mission is to guide children and teams alike in a mutually beneficial relationship of belonging, empowerment, and resilience.

"We are so excited to welcome Simon and his family to the Benedictine Men's Soccer program," said head coach Spencer Pappas. "We've hit the ground running with bringing Simon into the program and being around the guys, and he's made an instant impact! I hope that our guys are able to learn as much from Simon and the de la Guerra family as they learn from us. It's been great getting to know them and welcoming them to the Men's Soccer program."
