Philadelphia Union is proud to announce Strike Gold For Good on Wednesday, November 22nd, which will allow fans the opportunity to help with food insecurity in Chester ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday.
The event, which takes place at the Union Shop located at Subaru Park from 2-5PM, will give fans who donate items the opportunity to strike the same drum used on Union gameday. Being a pre-game drum striker has been a memorable addition to the matchday experience at Subaru Park and now we're giving fans their own!
The first way that fans can Strike Gold on the drum is to donate a Thanksgiving dinner kit. Fans that donate the following items will not only get to strike the Union's drum, but also have the moment photo-captured by the club and sent to them via email to be cherished forever.
