At this year’s Bowl for a Goal fundraising event, presented by Arbella Insurance, the spotlight wasn’t just on the New England Revolution pros; it was on two athletes who had become stars in the eyes of the Revs community.

Liam Wise, a Special Olympics Massachusetts athlete, and Unified partner Remy St. Germain had just returned from Austin, Texas, where they represented the New England Revolution at the 2025 MLS All-Star Week. As members of the MLS Unified All-Star team, they competed on the national stage alongside MLS Unified teams from across the country. They wore the jersey. They played the game. They earned the attention.

Cameron Benefit, a Revs fan from Plymouth, came to the event with a photo he had printed himself. It showed Liam, Remy, and Revolution captain Carles Gil at the All-Star training session. His goal was to find all three and get the photo signed—not as something to show off, but to save as a piece of inspiration.  

“Remy, Carles, and Liam were at the All-Star game, they were selected as All-Stars to represent the New England Revolution. I thought it would be cool if I could get this photo signed by all three of them since, I mean, that's a pretty cool achievement to reach,” said Cameron.

Cameron didn’t come just to support the team; he came to recognize the athletes who represented something bigger.

“When I was younger, my parents started bringing me to [Bowl for a Goal] as a good event to go to. It's a good way to see the players and raise money for something close to home,” said Cameron. “My mom's a special needs teacher down at Weymouth, at the South Shore collaborative, so I'm always going with her and supporting her because she’s been working there for 20 plus years.”

His moment with Liam and Remy was personal. It was also proof of something more—these athletes had gone from Unified teammates in New England to All-Stars on the big stage. From local community players to people fans came looking specifically to meet.

“I think it's great [Liam and Remy] get to experience stuff that'll last them a lifetime. This is something they're never going to forget, "said Cameron. “Having all the fans support them on social media, at the games, and online... I think it's just great that there are so many role models on [the Pro] team, like Andrew Farrell and Matt Polster. I think it's just great for all of New England to be able to see these guys represent such a great community and team.”
