Having the opportunity to be part of the Tacoma Stars family is huge to me. I am grateful and thankful for the opportunity.” Says Marcus Trufant, when discussing his hometown roots and his passion for the growth of the Tacoma Stars.

 “Marcus is one the most successful professional athletes to ever represent Tacoma and we both have common community interests in growing Tacoma area sports and expanding opportunities for youth; especially the under-served” says Tacoma Stars owner, Lane Smith.“ I have known the Trufant family and their contributions to the communities for years and am very proud and excited to work with Marcus in his role as an ambassador with the Tacoma Stars.”
