Their commitment to community wellness and the ‘Get in the Match’ fundraiser aligns perfectly with our own values, and we are thrilled to support such a meaningful initiative.
“The idea to get involved came to us from our National Team Captain, Delray Rawlins, and team who will be wearing an all-pink kit on October 1, as they compete in Match Day 2 of the qualifier at White Hill Field. We encourage everyone to come out and support the National Team as they journey to the World Cup while also participating in this much-needed fundraiser”.
