Following the lead from our soon-to-be MLS brethren, a design for a charity t-shirt was created, a plan to collect items for a silent auction was made...but something told me we could still be doing more.

So, taking cues from Prideraiser and Playing for Pride, I reached out to my fellow Pride members to see how we could make a difference and they were immediately receptive. This is where The Pride: Kick Cancer was born. Over the month of September, we will be collecting donations from players (based off starts, assists, and goals) and supporters (based on the number of goals FCC scores during the month) and donating them to the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center’s Cancer and Blood Diseases Institute (CBDI).
