School Supply Drive
The MLS 20 for 20 Mini-Pitch Initiative is a program put together by MLS Works, Southern New Hampshire University, US Soccer Foundation and adidas to build 20 mini-pitches in 20 underserved communities around the country. NYCFC's community pitch will be dedicated at PS49 Willis Avenue School in The Bronx on September 14th, 2016.
In support of this initiative, The Third Rail is asking for your help to donate school supplies to the children of PS49 who are in grades K through 5. 100% of your donation will go directly to the purchase of notebooks, folders, pens, erasers, etc. We also designed a custom wrapped The Third Rail pencil that will be donated to the children to show them that we support them and believe in the power of a quality education.
Kicking + Screening Film Festival
The Kicking + Screening Film Festival makes a stop in NYC next week. We strongly encourage you to take advantage of the opportunity to see some great films about the game we love. From the Kicking + Screening website:
"This year’s festival explores how this sport is really the "Game of our life," with four feature films about the cultural impact, both personal and national, of the beautiful game. From obsessive Panini sticker collectors to fans of a brand new club in a Mexican border city, from the enduring impact of a lone World Cup goal to the momentary thrill of a famous European Championship upset, the films at K+S New York 2016 remind us how this game affects us every day in ways both big and small."
