Haley Brisky, treasurer of the Millennium Soccer Club in Madison, has been named a finalist for the USL Hometown Heroes Award. The honor carries a $10,000 prize, and the winner is determined by fan voting that closes Wednesday at 11 am.
Why it matters
The award recognizes volunteer contributions to youth soccer in the Madison community. If Brisky wins, the prize money will go directly into soccer operations at the club.
Five finalists were selected from nominations submitted by every professional USL team, and the $10,000 prize will be decided by fan voting. The result of the vote remains unknown until voting closes.

Timeline

Season Trajectory
The USL Hometown Heroes Award recognizes community contributions by professional clubs' nominees rather than on-field performance. Brisky's nomination places a Madison youth coach alongside the league's other grassroots honorees.
Fans who want to support Brisky can cast a vote before fan voting closes Wednesday at 11 am. Families of Millennium players can keep in mind that the club's yearly cost is capped at $15 per child.
The takeaway
Community volunteers who run low-cost youth programs often operate with little public recognition, and this nomination brings attention to that work. Readers can support local clubs by attending clinics or voting when fan balloting is open.
What happens next
Fan voting for the USL Hometown Heroes Award closes Wednesday at 11 am, when the winner will be determined.
