Dorchester and South End Residents Score Big at Sovereign|Santander Soccer Clinic with Members of the New England Revolution and Soccer Hall of Famer Eric Wynalda
Hundreds of Boston-area inner city kids, including Tyra Westbrook of Dorchester and D’Andre Edwards of the South End, dribbled and dodged around U.S. Soccer Hall of Famer, Eric Wynalda, and Major League Soccer (MLS) stars Matt Reis, Kevin Alston, Darrius Barnes, Ryan Guy and Clyde Simms during a New England Revolution Academy youth soccer skills clinic at Camp Harbor View in Quincy this week.
The soccer program headlined a celebration announcing Sovereign|Santander’s CONCACAF Gold Cup 2013 sponsorship, and kicked off its accompanying charitable giving campaign, “Goals for Charity”.
Partnering with the New England Revolution and Gold Cup, Sovereign will donate $500 for every goal scored during the Gold Cup™ 2013 as well as during Revolution home games this season. The accumulated funds, up to $50,000, will be divided among the “Goals for Charity” beneficiaries – Boys and Girls Clubs Boston, Camp Harbor View and Cradles to Crayons.
