HELP US UNLOCK THE NON-PROFIT SPOTLIGHT

If we hit 250+ tickets, Chicago Fire FC activates the Non-Profit Spotlight Experience for Esprit de Corps Foundation. That means:

In-game stadium recognition on the video board
Opportunity to table at Soldier Field before the match
A signed Chicago Fire item which will be awarded to the Top Team Captain!
Post-match top team photo on the field

Every ticket gets us closer. Help us hit 250 and put Esprit de Corps Foundation on the big screen at Soldier Field.

CAN'T MAKE IT? YOU CAN STILL HELP.

If you can't be there on May 2, you can still support by making a donation. Every dollar goes toward our MURPH Festival on May 16 and our mission to provide resources and community for those who have served our country.
