Kick Childhood Cancer
In partnership with adidas, the LA Galaxy hosted pediatric cancer patients from Children’s Hospital Los Angeles this month as part of Major League Soccer’s Kick Childhood Cancer campaign for the club’s first-ever Boot Making Lab at Dignity Health Sports Park. The youth were partnered with first-team players and coaches to decorate a select set of boots and shoes. These newly designed boots and shoes will be worn by the players and coaches during training sessions this week and on Saturday, Sept. 2 for the official LA Galaxy Kick Childhood Cancer match. 

The decorated player boots will be auctioned off after the Sept. 2 game, with all proceeds directly benefiting Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. The youth cancer patients will be in attendance for the LA Galaxy’s Kick Childhood Cancer match, where they will have the opportunity to see Galaxy players wear their designs on the pitch. The youth will also be honored as the club’s “Heroes of the Match” during halftime of the Sept. 2 match and will also participate in the “Mascot Scramble,” presented by Kinecta, where they will play a mini soccer game against various mascots from Los Angeles sports teams including Bailey, Chuck, Kingston, Sparky, Toro, Stryker, Wild Wing, Twizzle and Fuego. 

LA Galaxy Foundation
Youth cancer outpatients from Children’s Hospital Los Angeles will be attending the match with the LA Galaxy Foundation. The Community Partner of the Match is the Jessie Reese Foundation: Never Ever Give Up.
