Win a Trip to Mexico City with Sounders FC and Street Soccer Seattle

Soccer opens up a world of possibilities. Imagine spending an afternoon in Mexico City with former Sounders FC star Gonzalo Pineda, using the game to engage and inspire youth from marginalized communities. Next travel to Estadio Azteca, one of the largest soccer stadiums in the world and host to two World Cup finals, to watch Sounders FC take on Club America in the second leg of the CONCACAF quarterfinals. This could be your reality. Here’s how:

The Opportunity

Like last year’s CONCACAF-inspired efforts in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, the Champions League quarterfinals provide not only an opportunity to showcase world-class soccer, but also a chance to celebrate the game’s inherent power as a catalyst for positive change.

Once again Sounders FC is teaming up with Seattle International Foundation (SIF) to send fans to Mexico City to participate in community-building activities leading into the Sounders FC Champions League quarterfinal match versus Club America.

Sounders FC and SIF will work locally with Street Soccer Seattle and abroad with Street Soccer Mexico to reinforce each organization’s collective mission to leverage the game of soccer to empower homeless youth. Outreach efforts will include youth clinics in Seattle and Mexico City, as well as financial commitments to support long-term community interventions in each region. Former Sounders FC star and Mexican International Gonzalo Pineda will be on hand in Mexico City to inspire youth clinic participants.

Sounders FC is seeking passionate soccer fans and global citizens to join in these efforts and win a trip of a lifetime.

Here’s how to win

Follow the link below to support Sounders FC and SIF outreach efforts in Seattle and Mexico City. Proceeds go to Street Soccer Seattle and Street Soccer Mexico’s programs to positively affect homeless youth in their regions.

Entries to win are limited to 10, but all participants are encouraged to contribute any amount seen fit.

A portion of the proceeds will cover Seattle Sounders FC and Seattle International Foundation’s travel expenses to Mexico City to engage Street Soccer Mexico and the homeless youth that they serve.

Reuben’s Brews Fundraiser

This passed weekend we had the opportunity with teaming up with Reuben’s Brews, Seattle Spurs and the Infamous Gorilla FC. What a great event we had that helped raise funds for Street Soccer Seattle. This was an event that was a tribute to the Seattle Sounders FC vs Tottenham Hotspurs. Reuben’s Brews introduced a new brew dedicated to this special friendly entitled Londons Calling.

The drink is the brainchild of keen Spurs fan and former White Hart Lane Season Ticket Holder Adam Robbings – a member of Seattle Spurs who moved to the States a few years ago and co-founded Reuben’s Brews back in 2012. (Please read more here via the Tottenham Hotspurs Website)

It was an amazing experience and to have this support structure in the heart of Seattle just shows how much the use of a Soccer Ball can help support Social Change. President, Andrew Drake of the Gorilla FC was in great spirits to help organize this event and it was a great pleasure being able to talk candidly and what we aspire Seattle to become with being the Soccer City.

Here’s a cheers to our supporters of Seattle Spurs, Reuben’s Brews and Gorilla FC. Thank you for all you do.
