The day after the primary election, SoccerCity SD kicked off their campaign push towards November with an epic event at Stone Brewing in Liberty Station.

Former United States Men's and Women's National Team players Landon Donovan and Shannon Mac Millan, who have both joined the SoccerCity team were on hand to thank fans for their support and to have a little fun in a family-friendly environment akin to what SoccerCity would cultivate in the heart of Mission Valley.

Both Donovan and Mac Millan hold legendary status in the American soccer pantheon, but more importantly for them at this stage of their lives is their status as parents in San Diego. Parents who want to build something for the next generation of San Diego.

"When I first joined SoccerCity, it was all about the soccer," said Mac Millan. "But as I've gotten to know Landon better, as well as Nick and Mike and everyone else involved in this project, I've realized what amazing people they are and that this truly is about a legacy and doing something for the next generation. Priorities change when you become a parent and now that I have a son I want him to have something that he can be a part of."

Donovan also detailed his motivation for being involved in this project, before issuing some instructions to the assembled audience.
