SANDY, Utah (Thursday, April 26, 2012) - As part of the "Leo's Paws for the Cause" community program, Real Salt Lake is proud to support Volunteers of America and their homeless outreach programs by hosting a ticket fundraiser and Sock Donation Drive in conjunction with this Saturday's home match against Toronto FC (7:00 p.m. MT kickoff).
Fans that want to attend Saturday's contest against Toronto FC and donate to Volunteers of America at the same time can do so by purchasing a $20 North Endzone section ticket online at www.voaut.org or www.RealSaltLake.com/content/ticket-promotions (Promo Code: VOA), with $5 from each sale being donated to VOA.
As a part of Saturday night's donation drive, receptacles will be located at the Volunteers of America booth in Carnival Real from 5:00-7:00 p.m. and four entrance gates across Rio Tinto Stadium to collect new pairs of socks for VOA's homeless shelter.
Volunteers of America is a 116-year-old national organization that focuses on helping youth and adults recover from homelessness and substance abuse.
