During a recent meeting, the SJ Earthquakes Front Office informed us that they are offering $3000 to each of the supporter groups for traveling purposes. Although the offer is appreciated, we politely declined it despite the first three months of the season being filled with several costly trips. Since our founding in 2003, it has been one of our fundamental principles to support our club – not be supported by our club. We suggest that the money allocated to the Front Office’s offer be donated to St. Jude’s Hospital.
