ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – The Tampa Bay Rowdies are teaming up with Kemper Auto once again to support youth soccer players throughout the region with the second annual Gear Up for Goals soccer gear drive during Hispanic Heritage Month.
The Rowdies and Kemper Auto encourage fans to take part in Gear Up for Goals by donating new or gently used soccer gear at the Rowdies upcoming home matches during Hispanic Heritage Month on September 19 and October 3. All donated gear will benefit the Hispanic Services Council, in support of the organization’s efforts to provide equal access and opportunities to Tampa Bay’s Latino population. Donated items will go directly into the community, helping local youth players in need to gear up for success on the field.
Fans attending the Rowdies next two home matches at Al Lang Stadium can drop off their new or gently used soccer equipment for donation outside of Gate 2 prior to kickoff.
As an additional thank you for supporting the Gear Up for Goals Drive, fans who make a donation will receive a voucher for a free hot dog or pretzel and a voucher for one soda or water at the match. This offer is limited to one set of vouchers per household.
Requested donation items include:
- Old uniforms
