Twenty-seven (27) Community MVPs will be selected, one representing each MLS club, to receive national and local recognition, a $2,500 donation to a 501(c)(3) charity of their choice, a customized adidas MLS jersey, and an MLS adidas NATIVO 21 Official Match Ball.

"MLS fans share our League's commitment to giving back and strengthening our communities," said Jen Cramer, SVP of Partnership Marketing for MLS. "Thanks to the incredible support of our friends at Wells Fargo, the MLS WORKS Community MVPs program shines a light on many of the selfless and committed individuals who are going above and beyond to serve and strengthen our communities across the U.S. and Canada."

"Wells Fargo is deeply committed to the communities we serve, and we're proud of our relationship with Major League Soccer and the Community MVPs program.
