Emily Menges, Zarek Valentin awarded Stand Together Community MVP honors

Emily Menges and Zarek Valentin were named this season’s Community MVPs at PTFC’s annual Stand Together banquet last night, according to a press release from the club.

Valentin’s most visible contribution to the community was the #RibbonZ campaign, where he turned a dare from a mysterious Thorns fan to wear a Hayley Raso-inspired ribbon into a fundraiser for the Sexual Minority Youth Resource Center at New Avenues for Youth.

Bet is on.... if I get 10,000 retweets, I'll play a game with a bow in my hair like @HayleyRaso. No way it happens.
