#RevCares
At RUFC, our community lies at the core of our identity, which is why we take great pride in extending our support to the communities surrounding us through #RevCares. This initiative provides our RUFC community with a chance to give back to others.
We are thrilled to introduce some upcoming events that offer special ways for our RUFC community to contribute to our local area. These events mark just the beginning of what we hope will be numerous opportunities for our RUFC community to make a positive impact.
If you are aware of any organizations that could benefit from our support and are open to youth volunteers, please reach out to Maria Cano at revcares@revolutionunitedfc.com
Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those around us.
Past events
- Fairfield Beach Clean Up - April 22, 2023
RUFC and Fairfield University Men’s Soccer joined forces to support cleaning up our community on Earth Day. We met at Jennings Beach at 12 p.m. on Friday, April 22nd. Thank you all who participated in such a magnificent beach clean-up day! #revolutionfamily #revcares
- Food 4 Kids Programs - March 24 & 25, 2023
- Bring joy to a child during the Holidays - December 2022
The generosity and kindness of the RUFC community are truly shown through our gift sponsorship for families of The Bridgeport Department of Children and Families (DCF). Through your generosity, we were able to provide gifts for 11 children, ranging in age from 10 months to 13 years old, as well as provide gift cards for groceries and cleaning supplies for a mom who was being reunited with her children. The holidays are a challenging time of year for many and it meant so much to the DCF caseworker that we were able to make the holidays a bit brighter for these children and families.
Thank you to all of the RUFC families who contributed.
