The SD Loyal is working to raise $100,000 for Rady Children’s Hospital
The SD Loyal is hosting a fundraiser to benefit Rady Children’s Hospital’s Center for Gender-Affirming Care. The soccer team hopes that its “Loyal to Inclusion” initiative will bring in $100,000 to provide clinical, psychological, and social support for kids and teens with gender dysphoria and related health care needs. To participate, buy a home game ticket in Section 111, purchase a one-of-a-kind Loyal Select jersey, or register at radyfoundation.org. The fundraiser runs through August 27.
“Rady Children’s is an invaluable community resource, and their programs like the Center for Gender-Affirming Care ensure that our children are happy, healthy, and free to be themselves,” said SD Loyal Chairman Andrew Vassiliadis. “Come to a match, buy that jersey, join one of our teams virtually, and know that each dollar we raise goes directly to the future of our generations.”
Loyal to Inclusion is the SD Loyal’s second annual fundraiser. Last year, the team raised $75,000 to bolster Rady Children’s fight against COVID-19.
