Orlando, Fla. - Orlando City SC, alongside the Orlando City Foundation and Orlando City Goalkeeper Miguel Gallardo, announced Thursday a $4,346 donation to Children's Home Society of Florida.

The primary event was the Pinz 4 Kidz charity bowling tournament held in December of 2013 at Colonial Lanes in Orlando, Fla. Led by Gallardo, more than 15 teams participated in the inaugural outing, with all the profits going toward Children's Home Society of Florida.

"Miguel wanted to help raise much-needed funds for Children's Home Society of Florida," said Orlando City Foundation Chair Kay Rawlins. "This was a fun event involving fans, players, staff and sponsors - it was great to see such a good turnout "

The Orlando City Foundation has been extremely active in the community, including a recent $10,000 donation to the New Image Youth Center and backing of local non-profits for 2014.

"We are so excited to have Orlando City Soccer join us in our efforts to end child abuse," said Tara Hormell, Executive Director for the Central Florida Division of Children's Home Society of Florida. "I have been very impressed with the organization and its players who have been very active in the community in the relatively short time they have been in the Orlando area. "
