Nominate a "Beyond the Game" Player of the Month
Do you know an FC Richmond player who is going "Beyond the Game"? Every month, we will feature a player or team in our newsletter who is making a difference in the community through volunteer work, helping others, or performing an act of kindness! Last year, U14 Mystx players went "Beyond the Game" by bagging lunches for the homeless. We know there are many players out there doing great things! Make sure to tell us about them! Nominate a player (or team) by sending an email to lynne@fcrichmond.com
Community Outreach
We had over 40 FC Richmond players volunteer time to help raise money for childhood cancer research at bake sales in Midlothian on Sept 22nd. Thank you to all of the families who donated and helped us raise over $3,000 for Cookies for Kids' Cancer!
In October, FC Richmond will hold a food drive for Feed More to help the nearly 200,000 children, families and seniors who struggle with hunger in Central Virginia. As the holiday season approaches, let's go "Beyond the Game" and collect food for those in need. Collection bins will be located at Greenfield, Robious Middle, and Huguenot Park during all practices October 15-26. The most needed items are canned tuna & chicken, low sodium veggies, fruit packed in juice, and peanut butter. For more info click HERE .
