Orlando city soccer fundraiser

The Orlando City Foundation gives us another year of Soccer and the City. On the agenda this year: a fashion show. Players will strut their stuff down the runway in their new away uniforms. Yes, those in attendance will get a preview of the club’s new jersey kits, and get to enjoy the soccer players model fashions provided through Macy’s.

The fundraiser will take place at the Church Street Exchange, 101 S. Garland Ave. in downtown Orlando on March 3. The event begins at 6 p.m.

"If this year’s Soccer and the City is anything like last year, there will be a great turnout and incredible amounts of fun," Orlando City Foundation Founder and Community Relations Director Kay Rawlins said.

Hosting the event is Amy Kaufeldt of “Good Day Orlando” and Laura Diaz of “Johnny’s House Morning Show” on 106.7 FM.

“We couldn’t be more excited to be this close to the season opener and get to celebrate this milestone with Soccer and the City,” Rawlins added. “Our event last year was a tremendous success and we look forward to another very special evening with our supporters, our special hosts Amy and Laura, and of course our star athletes.”

Players currently scheduled to attend Soccer and the City include Kaká, Luke Boden, Aurélien Collin, Brek Shea, Darwin Cerén, Kevin Molino, Cyle Larin, Tommy Redding, Bryan Róchez, Amobi Okugo, Harrison Heath, Conor Donovan and Tyler Turner. Also

​General admission tickets are $50; VIP tickets are $150. Proceeds will go to the Orlando City Foundation and ticket purchases to Soccer and the City include admission to the opener game March 8. Visit https://www.facebook.com/events/785687288182782/ for more information on the event and tickets.
