Framingham Resident Scores Big at Sovereign|Santander Soccer Clinic with Members of the New England Revolution and Soccer Hall of Famer Eric Wynalda

Hundreds of Boston-area inner city kids, including Kyle Jimenez-Fox of Framingham, dribbled and dodged around U.S. Soccer Hall of Famer, Eric Wynalda, and Major League Soccer (MLS) stars Matt Reis, Kevin Alston, Darrius Barnes, Ryan Guy and Clyde Simms during a New England Revolution Academy youth soccer skills clinic  at Camp Harbor View in Quincy this week.

The soccer program headlined a celebration announcing Sovereign|Santander’s CONCACAF Gold Cup 2013 sponsorship, and kicked off its accompanying charitable giving campaign, “Goals for Charity”. 

Partnering with the New England Revolution and Gold Cup, Sovereign will donate $500 for every goal scored during the Gold Cup™ 2013 as well as during Revolution home games this season. The accumulated funds, up to $50,000, will be divided among the “Goals for Charity” beneficiaries – Boys and Girls Clubs Boston, Camp Harbor View and Cradles to Crayons.
