RJ Allen and Tommy McNamara described themselves as “humbled” with the turnout at the first NYCFC fan event of 2017.
More than 200 City Members descended upon the Barleycorn in Tribeca on Monday night to celebrate Friday’s news that the pair have signed new contracts with the club.
A Q&A and fan signing session followed a community event with schoolchildren at PS 134 on the Lower East Side in the afternoon where Allen and McNamara dropped in on the after school program, playing games and discussing the benefits of nutritious eating and an active soccer lifestyle.
Young leaders from New York City FC Youth Affiliate Downtown United Soccer Club ran the session with help from RJ and Tommy, while a Cityzens Giving prize winner selected from the City Members that voted for the New York project also visited.
