Help Fight Hunger in Colorado by Attending the Thanksgiving Day Playoff Match
November 16, 2021 - Major League Soccer (MLS)
Colorado Rapids News Release
This Thanksgiving Day, we're giving back to the Colorado community in a BIG WAY!
For every fan inside DICK'S Sporting Goods Park prior to kickoff of the Western Conference Semifinal Playoff match on November 25, the Colorado Rapids and Kroenke Sports Charities will donate four meals to the Food Bank of the Rockies. That's right, Rapids fans can give back to Colorado just by showing up to watch the beautiful game!
But that's just the beginning!
As additional donations are contributed to the program, the number of meals the club, KSE Charities, and our partners are able to donate will increase incrementally and our goal is to deliver over 250,000 meals to families facing hunger this holiday season.
"Thanksgiving is about coming together - with your family, your friends and as a community - and it's only when we come together that we have the opportunity to create meaningful change and provide a lasting impact on those around us," Senior Director of Community Relations & Youth Programming Caitlin Kinser said. "The Colorado Rapids and Kroenke Sports Charities are delighted to partner with Food Bank of the Rockies and give back meals to those in need this holiday season."
Each day, we'll update this article and the club social media accounts with the increased number of meals donated!
November 16, 2021:
64,000 total meals
Minimum of 4 meals per fan in attendance on 11/25
Donation: KSE Charities & the Colorado Rapids
