Thursday, July 10 - Wave FC was proud to partner with Kaiser Permanente to host a youth soccer clinic for the kids of armed service members in the San Diego community. Defender Perle Morroni and Chief Impact Office Shannon Mac Millan attended to the clinic to help with soccer drills, mindfulness exercises and bracelet making in an effort to show the power of community through soccer and the importance of mental health. The event also included a panel with Morroni, Mac Millan, and mental health professionals a part of the Kaiser Permanente team.

Tuesday, July 15 - The Club participated in its monthly tradition of volunteering at the Ronald McDonald House.

Saturday, July 19 - San Diego Wave participated in its fourth annual presence in the San Diego Pride Parade, celebrating the LGBTQ+ community alongside Wave FC staff, volunteers, fans, and the Sirens Supporters Group.

Friday, July 25 - Wave FC's Community Relations team continued their efforts through the Adopt-A-Highway program, focusing on the northbound and southbound on-ramps and off-ramps of the I-5 freeway at Genesee Avenue. The group has now removed over 20 bags of litter from these areas, helping to keep San Diego's roadways clean and cared for.

Tuesday, July 29 - In partnership with the YMCA, San Diego Wave players Melanie Barcenas, Kyra Carusa, Jordan Fusco, Makenzy Robbe, and Quincy McMahon joined four youth soccer clinics across the county on the same day.
