LouCity, ORCA Life Partner to Benefit Our Louisville Parks

June 19, 2019 - United Soccer League Championship (USL)
Louisville City FC News Release


LOUISVILLE, KY - As Louisville City FC players send soccer balls flying toward their opponent's goalkeepers fans of Louisville parks can cheer extra loud. That's because Louisville City partner ORCA Life has stepped forward with a BIG gift.

ORCA Life has pledged a $10 donation to the Louisville Parks Foundation for each shot on goal for the remainder of the 2019 of the USL Championship season. Each time a Louisville City player puts a shot on frame against a USL Championship opponent, the Louisville Parks Foundation wins.

"We are so pleased ORCA Life has chosen the Louisville Parks Foundation as the beneficiary of the Shots on Goal campaign," Brooke Pardue, President of the Louisville Parks Foundation, said. "Working with amazing community partners, like ORCA Life, we hope to soon complete our South Louisville Soccer Field Project with a third public turf soccer field at Wyandotte Park."

ORCA Life is a final expense insurer founded on the principles of Opportunity, Responsibility, Community and Accountability. Donating to the Louisville Parks Foundation to help build new soccer fields at Wyandotte Park speaks to ORCA Life's commitment to the Louisville community.

Scott Morris (VP of Operations at ORCA Life): "On behalf of all of ORCA Life, I am extremely excited for the announcement of this partnership with Louisville City FC! Your successes not only on the pitch, but within our community are what the ORCA Family strives for every day. ORCA Life takes great pride in protecting beneficiaries that we may never meet and due to our strong commitment to family, funding soccer fields in the greater Louisville area through the Louisville Parks Foundation fits seamlessly with our Mission and Power Principles. We look forward to growing this relationship and watching Lou City bring home more championships!"

Louisville City has been partnered with the Louisville Parks Foundation for a year, helping build new soccer fields at the Beechmont Community Center and William Harrison Park. The Beechmont fields will celebrate their first anniversary on June 14. Louisville City employees and fans helped raise money to "Win for Wyandotte" during the Kentucky Derby Festival mini-Marathon this Spring, raising more than $6,000 for the new fields at Wyandotte Park.

"We believe strongly in the mission of the Louisville Parks Foundation," Louisville City FC President Brad Estes said. "We believe soccer is everyone, and we want to make soccer more accessible for all the children in our city."

The ORCA Life donations began with last weekend's matchup at New York Red Bulls II and will continue through the end of the 2019 season.
