In collaboration with the Ibis Foundation, Tormenta FC hosted the second Carter Payne Bowling Fundraiser June 5 at The Clubhouse.

The event helped raise money for the Carter Payne Fund & Scholarship via the Ibis Foundation. Contributions directly support local youth through soccer development, scholarships and participation opportunities.

While a member of Tormenta FC, Payne had been out with friends and was riding a scooter along or across Fair Road in Statesboro when he was struck by an unidentified motor vehicle shortly before 1:30 a.m. on July 9, 2022. The hit-and-run remains unsolved.

The non-profit Ibis Foundation created the Carter Payne Fund to honor his memory. All donations support help grow the game Payne loved, the release stated.
