From time to time, Minnesota United has the pleasure of playing host to various supply drives, ranging from holiday gifts for kids to winter gear for those in need. The club is proud to support initiatives that help put needed supplies and smiles on the faces of people around our beloved Twin Cities community. That’s why, in partnership with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota and United Heroes League, MNUFC will be hosting an athletic gear drive ahead of the September 18 match against FC Cincinnati. Visit the Sun Country Lawn Layover ahead of the match to make your contribution!
