Fort Wayne, IN (July 20, 2026) –Ruoff Mortgage has announced a $15,000 donation to Cancer Services of Northeast Indiana in support of those currently affected by a cancer diagnosis in Fort Wayne and the surrounding areas. The donated amount corresponds with the number of goals scored by Fort Wayne Football Club at Ruoff Mortgage Stadium during the club’s match against Greenville Triumph SC this past Saturday. Each goal signified a $5,000 donation.
The evening was the club’s First Annual John Bellio Tribute Night. Bellio, who was one of the team’s inaugural owners, passed away from cancer last year. In partnership and as the Naming Rights partner of Ruoff Mortgage Stadium, Ruoff is proud to honor John and support the mission of Cancer Services.
“Being able to remember John in this way, with his family and in front of the team that he cared so much about, was incredibly moving. Moments like these ensure that his name remains synonymous with the values of teamwork, loyalty, and local pride that this Club stands for,” Mark Music, Owner of both Ruoff Mortgage and Fort Wayne Football Club stated. “His legacy continues to make an incredible impact even after his passing. Showing our support to Cancer Services is our way of reflecting that impact.”
Three goals were scored throughout the match, and the win brings FWFC’s record to 7-3-6 (W-L-D) so far this season. This year is the club’s first pro season in the USL League One, after playing the past 5 seasons in USL League Two.
