NEW YORK – (July 7, 2016) Major League Soccer today announced the twenty finalists for the 2016 MLS WORKS Community MVP Contest presented by Wells Fargo. The Grand Prize winner, as voted by fans, will be recognized on the field at halftime of the 2016 AT&T MLS All-Star Game at Avaya Stadium in San Jose on July 28, 2016, and will receive a $10,000 donation for their selected charity.
Every year, MLS fans and Wells Fargo recognize individuals who use soccer as a tool to make a difference in their community.
