About Virginia Dream's SWB Fundraiser
In order to provide exposure to SWB’s mission to use soccer as a vehicle for positive change, the SWB logo will be displayed on Virginia Dream FC player jerseys throughout the tournament. Not only that, the club will also be fundraising for SWB by encouraging supporters to donate to SWB every time they score a goal.
“In 2016 I was fortunate enough to be awarded the Gatorade National Boys Soccer Player of the Year,” recalled team owner, Lucas Mendes. “With that award came a chance to make a donation to a charity of my choice. Because of my heritage and my love for soccer, SWB was my runaway selection. I hope that through Virginia Dream FC’s activities such as TST, I can help bring attention and exposure to SWB and its mission.”
For those who cannot make it to North Carolina, you can cheer on Virginia Dream by tuning into TST, which will be airing live across NBC platforms. Additionally, be sure to follow along with Virginia Dream and SWB on Instagram for tournament highlights and updates.
