SAN JOSE, Calif. – The Quakes Foundation, the San Jose Earthquakes’ charitable arm, is dedicating the entire month of September to childhood cancer awareness with several activities and initiatives. This dedication comes in conjunction with MLS WORKS’ Kick Childhood Cancer month-long campaign.
The Quakes’ two home games this month will benefit organizations close to the club that work to improve the lives of children with cancer and help find a cure while promoting awareness for research and funding: The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) and the Austen Everett Foundation.
During September, the Quakes Foundation will sell limited edition black and gold Soccer For All scarves at the home games, with proceeds going to the nonprofits.
