Farrell honored as Humanitarian of the Year for charitable work with a personal touch

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – As the timeless saying goes, “it’s better to give than to receive,” and this is a motto that the New England Revolution embrace wholeheartedly, all year long.

However, there was a particular individual whose dedication on and off the field stood out this season, and that’s right back Andrew Farrell, who was honored as the Revolution 2018 Humanitarian of the Year. This is the 26-year-old’s first time claiming this prestigious award, breaking another deeply charitable Revs contributor, Kelyn Rowe’s, four-year streak with the honor.

“I freaked out,” Farrell admitted when asked how he’d reacted when he was told he’d been selected.
