New England Revolution Collect School Supplies for Cradles to Crayons

New England Revolution Collect School Supplies for Cradles to Crayons
Fans who donate items at the home game on August 17 will receive an autographed player card

WHO/WHAT: The
New England Revolution will continue its series of 2013 charity
donation drives by collecting school supplies for Cradles to Crayons
before the Revs' match against Chicago Fire on Saturday, August 17, at
Gillette Stadium. All fans who donate supplies will receive an autographed Revolution player card.

The event is second in a series of three Revolution charity drives this summer, which began in July with a soccer equipment collection for Rhode Island- based Project GOAL.

Cradles
to Crayons provides low-income and homeless children (up to age 12) in
Massachusetts and greater Philadelphia with the essential items they
need to learn and thrive. All donations collected will help enhance the
educational lives of many underprivileged kids. The Revolution's 2013
charity donation series will wrap with a winter coat collection on
September 21 for the Worcester County Sheriff's Office annual coat
drive.
