The New York Red Bulls have launched the 13th annual "11 Days of Service," a month-long community initiative running in conjunction with September 11 – the national day of service and remembrance. Rather than just participate in one day of service, players, front office staff, supporters and partners will participate in several different community activations as a tribute to the victims and survivors from the attacks of September 11, 2001.
"Giving back to our community is at the heart of who we are as a club." said Katie Nahoum, Chief Marketing Officer, New York Red Bulls. “Every September, we come together through our month-long community outreach program, '11 Days of Service', to honor those we lost 24 years ago. Together, our staff and partners take part in service projects that lend a helping hand and make a meaningful difference for our neighbors in need."
The "11 Days of Service" initiative begins today at Sports Illustrated Stadium for “Fresh Haircuts” presented by Intermex. Guests will receive haircuts to celebrate going back-to-school.
