AURORA | Soccer City Aurora — a hub for a community of soccer players of many ages in the city run by the Colorado Soccer Foundation — will welcome local officials and others to its facility Wednesday for a “Play It Forward” event.
Wednesday is the inaugural Youth Sports Giving Day in Colorado and Soccer City Aurora said in a release that it will have a tournament on its four turf fields located at 15960 E. Colfax Ave. to raise money to keep its soccer programs accessible to community members who have financial need.
Funds raised during Wednesday’s event — which will run between 5:30 p.m. -8:30 p.m. — will be matched up to $500,000 by supporters Aspen Institute of Play and the Daniels Fund.
The event will include members of the Aurora City Council as well as players from the Colorado Rapids, the area’s Major League Soccer franchise, along with youth players of several ages.
