CHARLOTTE, N.C. (June 27, 2021) – The Charlotte Independence announced today their “Adopt A Kid’s Group” Program through which each player has the opportunity to adopt up to 40 kids for a night of soccer at the new American Legion Memorial Stadium. The initiative will serve local schools, neighborhoods and organizations facing economic hardship and those who otherwise may not be able to attend games throughout the season.

ABOUT THE CHARLOTTE INDEPENDENCE:
The Charlotte Independence professional soccer team joined the United Soccer League (USL) Championship as an expansion team in September 2014. An ownership group led by Jim McPhilliamy, the CEO, acquired the USL franchise rights from the Charlotte Eagles. McPhilliamy and his investment group founded Queen City Sports Club with the goal of making Charlotte a better place to live through annual increases in both the quality and quantity of events that are provided for the community.
In the fall of 2018, Queen City Sports Club and the Charlotte Independence signed a 10-year strategic partnership to move to American Legion Memorial Stadium following a complete rebuild of the historic landmark set for the spring of 2021. The Independence is focused on building the profile of the club through culture, community and performance as the team moves to American Legion Memorial Stadium.
