'Tis the Season!

Every year, the Los Angeles Galaxy Foundation mark the holiday season by hosting three events in the community via its Holiday Assist Program. Started in 2000, the Holiday Assist Program was created by the Galaxy Foundation to address the difficult holiday season many children endure and to brighten the holidays for all.

The Galaxy’s Steve Cronin with his fiancée Laura Kristi (star of the hit show SOS on Versus), Brandon McDonald and Troy Roberts, Miss LA Galaxy Katrina Lopez, members of the Miss LA Galaxy court, Karina Gutierrez and Sam Vu, and Galaxy Foundation volunteers visited Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and Shriners Hospital for Children LA, distributing “Soccer Santa” teddy bears and Galaxy goodies while also signing autographs and taking pictures with patients and families on Thursday.

On Wednesday, Galaxy defender Troy Roberts along with Miss LA Galaxy Katrina Lopez, members of the Miss LA Galaxy court, Karina Gutierrez and Sam Vu, and Galaxy Foundation volunteers made 100 “Soccer Santa” teddy bears to deliver.

The Galaxy Foundation will host the culminating Holiday Assist Program event, its Holiday Party, on Thursday, December 16 at The Home Depot Center for children in need. A group of 100 local children from various non-profit organizations will be invited to the party to participate in arts crafts, enjoy holiday treats and visit with Galaxy players. All kids in attendance will receive presents and goodies, in addition to a special visit from Cozmo Claus.
