ST. LOUIS – City SC donated 100% of the proceeds from their match against Portland Timbers 2 at Energizer Park to tornado recovery efforts in St. Louis.
The match, attended by over 2,000 fans, was part of City SC’s initiative to support families affected by last week’s devastating storms.
The funds raised, nearly $32,000, will aid in providing food, shelter and rebuilding efforts.
City SC staff extended their support beyond the match by volunteering at the O’Fallon YMCA earlier in the day.
They helped sort donations and connected with storm survivors, demonstrating their commitment to the community.
The event drew a diverse crowd, including parents and little league teams in matching gear, some of whom were experiencing the stadium for the first time.
Others attended to show solidarity with the city during these challenging times. This initiative by City SC is part of a broader effort by various organizations working to rebuild St. Louis, emphasizing the power of community support through donations and volunteer work.
