New England Revolution Collect School Supplies for Cradles to Crayons

The New England Revolution will continue its series of 2013 charity donation drives by collecting school supplies for Cradles to Crayons before the Revs' match against Chicago Fire on Saturday, August 17, at Gillette Stadium. All fans who donate supplies will receive an autographed Revolution player card. 

The event is second in a series of three Revolution charity drives this summer, which began with a soccer equipment collection for Rhode Island-based Project GOAL. 

Cradles to Crayons provides low-income and homeless children (up to age 12) in Massachusetts and greater Philadelphia with the essential items they need to learn and thrive. All donations collected will help enhance the educational lives of many underprivileged kids. The Revolution's 2013 charity donation series will wrap with a winter coat collection Sept. 12 for the Worcester County Sheriff's Office annual coat drive.
