Soccer Silicon Valley Community Foundation is pleased to welcome 50 children and families from Evergreen School District Migrant Education Program as their guests in the SSV Kidzone seats for the MLS San Jose Earthquakes game on May 1st at Buck Shaw Stadium versus the Colorado Rapids.
"Soccer Silicon Valley, through our community foundation in partnership with the San Jose Earthquakes, has set up a program to bring 50 deserving kids to every Earthquakes home game," says SSV Kidzone Chair Lloyd Danon. "Because of the deserving children that the Evergreen School District Migrant Education Program serves, we selected them to receive tickets for free admission to this game."
"We are really excited to be working with the team's fans through SSV Community Foundation on the Kidzone," says Earthquakes Executive Vice President David Alioto. "We are pleased with the choice of the Evergreen School District Migrant Education Program as a deserving program for this partnership."
About Evergreen School District Migrant Education Program:
The Evergreen School District Migrant Education Program is a federally funded program designed to provide services in support of these highly mobile children’s special needs so they can succeed academically. Participants are school age children (pre-school to eighth) of migratory workers, whose parents or other members of their nuclear family have worked in either fishing, agriculture, dairy, food processing (packing), forestry, or livestock industries within the last 36 months. Migrant children need special services because most are not working at grade level and must be helped to meet state and district standards. This program works with over 200 students from 12 different schools within the Evergreen School District.

Through the SSV Kidzone, SSVCF will bring during the 2010 MLS season a different group of 50 under-privileged kids (and their adult chaperones) from a different youth-oriented non-profit in a Bay Area community to see Earthquakes soccer – an experience they will remember forever – in the "SSV Kidzone," courtesy of Earthquakes fans. The SSV Kidzone is a collaborative effort between the fans and the San Jose Earthquakes, who have made significantly discounted tickets available to SSVCF for purchase in the SSV Kidzone.
