Scoreboard Shoutout Initiative

Inter Miami announced a new community initiative that allows fans to give back. By purchasing a Scoreboard Shoutout, fans can dedicate a message to be displayed on the stadium scoreboard, with all of the proceeds, excluding transactional fees, going to a selected local community-based organization each month. This initiative will run for the remainder of the 2024 season.

The Scoreboard Shoutout program kicks off this month, with shoutouts available for purchase for the upcoming home matches on Glioblastoma Awareness Day on July 17, vs. Toronto FC and July 20 vs. Chicago Fire FC. For these two games, the Glioblastoma Research Organization has been selected as the beneficiary of the proceeds. For additional information on Glioblastoma Research Organization please visit Gbmresearch.org.

"We are so grateful to partner with Inter Miami to spread awareness about such an important and underfunded cause. My goal when starting the organization was to connect individuals from across the globe who are facing similar situations, so they don't have to go through their GBM journey alone. This is something my family didn't have the luxury of benefiting from when my dad was sick," said Amber Barbach, Founder & Director, The Glioblastoma Research Organization
