RENTON, WASH. - Providence Swedish, Sounders FC and the club's charitable partner RAVE Foundation are proud to host Community Assist: Renton School District Health Fair, the organizations' third annual free community health fair for Renton School District families.

The event is scheduled for August 14 from 3:30-9:00 p.m. PT at the Providence Swedish Performance Center & Clubhouse - the Rave Green's state-of-the-art training facility that opened last year in Renton. It offers middle and high school students within the Renton School District access to free sports physicals administered by Providence Swedish physicians, along with immunizations provided by community partner HealthPoint.

Sounders FC players Andrew Thomas (4:00-5:00 p.m. PT), Alex Roldan (5:00-6:00 p.m. PT) and Jon Bell (7:00-8:00 p.m. PT) will be at the event, giving those in attendance an opportunity to learn from professional athletes the importance of health and well-being.

MEDIA NOTE: This event is not open to the general public, but media may attend for coverage purposes, as b-roll and interview opportunities with a Providence Swedish sports medicine physician, Sounders FC players, event stakeholder representatives and participating families are available, with a majority of planned interview opportunities taking place from 5:00-7:00 p.m. PT. Please RSVP with Gisselle Pichardo of Sounders FC Communications [GisselleP@SoundersFC.com] for more information.

Providence and Sounders FC look to build upon the success of previous years, with the 2025 event expected to provide free services and care to over 300 students. Beyond healthcare, the event offers the chance to come out to the club's home, where students and their families can take part in a robust health fair, facility tours and family-friendly activities.

In support of Providence and Sounders FC's commitment to youth mental health, Providence Swedish providers will also be available at the event to help educate parents and guardians about the impact of sports and physical activity on mental wellness.
