Friday, the Houston Dynamo will host C.F. Monterrey in the 2018 BBVA Compass Dynamo Charities Cup. Each year the game raises funds for a different Houston-area charity this year match the exhibition game will benefit KIPP Opportunity Campus.
Last year, the game benefited the Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund but this year’s funds will help benefit education. The KIPP Opportunity Campus includes KIPP NEXUS elementary and KIPP NEXUS middle school which is located in Northwest Houston.
Houston Dynamo midfielder Arturo Alvarez is an alumnus of the KIPP educational system.
“It’s great to see the Houston Dynamo support a great school like KIPP,” Alvarez said in a team release about the match.
