Seattle, WA - Seattle Reign FC and Chihuly Studio have entered into a three-year partnership to launch the Legends Campaign, the team announced this afternoon.

Seattle Reign FC's Legends Campaign is an opportunity to celebrate and honor the women in the Pacific Northwest who have set an example of excellence in our region and beyond.

In a pre-game ceremony at each Seattle Reign FC home match during the NWSL regular season, one woman will be honored for the lasting impact she has made in our community. Legends candidates will be considered from all fields of work, including corporate, non-profit, government, and civic organizations.

"Our stewardship of Seattle Reign FC provides us with both the opportunity and responsibility to further causes that we feel can have a positive impact on women and girls in our community. The Legends Campaign is meant to showcase the the accomplishments of the many women in our community whose efforts deserve our recognition, respect and appreciation. We are grateful to have a partner like Chihuly Studio to underscore the importance of honoring these deserving women," said Reign FC Owner Teresa Predmore.

As part of the partnership, Chihuly Studio has created the Reign Royal Blue Piccolo Venetian, based on Chihuly's Venetian series. This unique, hand-blown piece stands approximately 20" high and measures 6" in width at its base. The artwork will be on display on the Memorial Stadium concourse at all Reign FC home matches and the Legends name and date of the match they were honored will be included on a plaque that will be added to the display case.

"As President and CEO of Chihuly Studio I am delighted, along with Dale, to applaud the wonderful and meaningful contributions the Legends have made within our community, said Leslie Jackson Chihuly. "Long may they Reign!"

During the on-field presentation, each Reign FC Legend will be given a limited edition Chihuly Workshop Print by artist Dale Chihuly. These prints reveal Chihuly's unique sensibility and highlight his unmistakable style. All Chihuly Workshop limited edition prints are signed by Chihuly and numbered.

Dale Chihuly, an American sculptor, has mastered the alluring, translucent and transparent qualities of ice, water, glass and neon, to create works of art that transform the viewer experience. He is globally renowned for his ambitious site-specific architectural installations in public spaces, and in exhibitions presented in more than 250 museums and gardens worldwide.
