15 in 15 | Honorary Captain Harlem Clemons

Harlem Clemons was introduced to the Quakes by the St. Baldrick's Foundation. The foundation thought he would be the perfect child for the club's honorary captain position because he is a huge soccer fan that has faced a large amount of adversity at such a young age. Harlem is nine years old and lives in Oakland, CA. At the young age of five years old, he was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma, but remained strong through each round of chemotherapy. His smile is infectious to all those around him and the Quakes immediately thought he was the perfect fit for their honorary captain position.
