Soccer Silicon Valley Community Foundation is pleased to welcome 50 children and families from Loaves & Fishes as their guests in the SSV Kidzone seats for the MLS San Jose Earthquakes game on August 22nd at Buck Shaw Stadium versus the Kansas City Wizards.
"Soccer Silicon Valley, through our community foundation and in partnership with the San Jose Earthquakes, has set up a program to bring 50 deserving kids to every Earthquakes home game," says SSV Kidzone Chair Lloyd Danon. "Because of the deserving children that Loaves & Fishes serves, we selected Loaves & Fishes to receive tickets for free admission to the game."
"We are really excited to be working with the team's fans through SSV Community Foundation on the Kidzone," says Earthquakes Executive Vice President David Alioto. "We are pleased with the choice of Loaves & Fishes as a deserving program for this partnership."
"In addition to the hundreds of meals we provide each week, we are thrilled to offer our families the opportunity to attend an Earthquakes game. Our children love the sport of soccer and the response to these free tickets has been overwhelming," says Christina Egan, Executive Director of Loaves & Fishes.
