In front of more than 200 people at a VIP invitation-only event, including all the players and coaches of the U.S. Men’s National Team Gold Cup squad and more than a dozen Women’s National Team players, the star of the upcoming CBS game show The Power of 10 competed against the top soccer players in the U.S. playing in EA SPORTSTM FIFA Soccer 07 on Xbox 360™ to raise money for the U.S. Soccer Foundation. Drew surprised an already giddy crowd when, after dominating the opposition and going 4-2 in six matches, he decided to not only pay the full $100,000 that was at stake in the competition, but also doubled up on his two losses to the tune of another $60,000.
Prior to the June 5 event, the Foundation had already raised more than $100,000 from individual and corporate donors in Myernick’s honor to help support the growth of soccer in major metropolitan areas across the country. An assistant coach for the USA in the 2002 and 2006 FIFA World Cup, Myernick was universally admired, respected and loved by all those whose lives he touched. He passed away in October of 2006 at the age of 51.
