Chivas USA, HSBC Credit Center launch soccer fundraising program 'Ganate tus uniformes'

Club Deportivo Chivas USA of Major League Soccer announced today that it has teamed up with HSBC Credit Center to launch 'Gánate Tus Uniformes', an exciting new fundraising program for local soccer clubs. This initiative will allow soccer clubs to have access to quality adidas uniforms and gear for their teams under a structured fundraising program.


"Chivas USA is proud to join with HSBC Credit Center to provide this great opportunity to soccer clubs in Southern California. We look forward to seeing many teams outfitted in their brand new uniforms thanks to this unique program," said Chivas USA Senior Vice President and General Manager Whit Haskel.


"We are pleased to join with Chivas USA to support a program that encourages youth soccer in our community," said John Lucas, Marketing Director for HSBC Credit Center. "Skills like collaboration and team building that we learn through team sports are qualities that extend throughout our lives and help carry each of us to success."


To participate, each team will be asked to sell 100 tickets to a Chivas USA home game in 2007. The revenue raised by selling these $22 tickets will be used to purchase top quality adidas uniforms and gear. All local coaches, schools, and leagues are invited to participate in this exciting new program.
