SAN JOSE, Calif. – In celebration of Cesar Chavez Day, a coalition of five Californian professional soccer teams, including the San Jose Earthquakes, are joining forces today with the United Farm Workers Foundation to raise funds in support of farm workers in California.
The five clubs have created a $3,000 match grant challenge where all donations collected will be doubled up to the mentioned amount. All funds raised today will be allocated towards UFW Foundation’s COVID-19 relief and vaccination efforts to support the farm working community in appreciation for their arduous labor and year-round contributions. The Quakes Foundation, the charitable arm of the club, has created a GoFundMe account to raise funds and join the challenge.
