HWIS Connection

When Carlyle Peake left the Pacers off of his list of blackout games for 2023-2024, he had no idea he would be unwittingly donating two seats in the best game of that season to support the HWISPA-NY 2023 Annual Gala. To add insult to injury, the tickets were auctioned for a steal! Despite moping through most of the following day while repeatedly mumbling like a patient in a psychiatric unit, "I can't believe I gave away tickets to the best game of the year," (and with more than a little coaxing from his wife), he has continued to begrudgingly hand over a pair of seats in Madison Square Garden to support the HWISPA-NY Fundraising Committee's annual efforts. Carlyle has been a diehard Knicks fan and loyal, albeit often-depressed season ticket holder through their darkest periods (frequently forcing Katie to remain in the arena to the bitter end of painful blowout after painful blowout). So please help us honor his service and his sacrifice, especially now that they're recently begun having some of their best seasons... in decades. What. A. Freaking. Game.

About SocRoc NYC

James Christie grew up in the rolling hills of the Oley Valley, a rural town in Pennsylvania that was so small that it didn't have a football team. An active little boy, James' parents signed him up for the youth soccer team, and at his first practice a deep and undying passion was ignited. As James kicked ball after ball against the barn wall with his brother, soccer became the main focus of his life. Playing for his tiny high school, James began to make a name for himself in the sport and gain athletic recognition on a larger platform. James was named a High School All-American and called up to the Under-Twenty United States National Team, received a full Division 1 scholarship to play at Philadelphia University where he made the All-Mid Atlantic Team, gained his National C Coaching License, and landed a professional contract with the Baltimore Spirit.

As a professional player, James was nagged by chronic injuries and his body forced him into an early retirement. He returned to Philadelphia and began weight-lifting to rehabilitate his knee. Loving the results, James discovered a second passion-personal training. At the time, he shifted his focus from soccer to learning all he could about fitness and began the arduous process of earning the sought-after NSCA's Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist Designation.

Still James missed the excitement of professional sports and as his twenties came to an end, he packed his bags and moved to New York City with the hope of becoming a famous actor. He figured that personal training would be a great side hustle while be made the show biz rounds. But when one of his personal training clients learned he had been a professional soccer player, she convinced him to teach a class to her son and his friends. With a bag of soccer balls, and a few cones, James met the group of six kids in Central Park and the first-ever SocRoc class was born. Something special happened that afternoon-James' love of soccer was reborn in the thrill he felt when teaching the children.

For two decades, James has grown SocRoc into one of Manhattan's most unique, high-quality programs for kids, expanding from Central Park into other parks, playgrounds, daycare centers, and private and public schools throughout the five boroughs. SocRoc employs over 30 coaches and teaches over 200 classes a week. In 2021, James enlisted the help of his sister, Heather Christie, to take over as CEO and Director of Operations so he could concentrate on coaching development. Together, they have exciting plans for SocRoc's future, recently launching BBRoc Basketball Classes For Kids and Classes For Kids With Disabilities.

It's paramount to James, Heather, and the entire SocRoc team to create a boutique, hands-on, positive soccer and fitness experience for all. They pride themselves in delivering unparalleled service.

We hope you'll make SocRoc a part of your family's life. See you on the pitch!
