As North Shore Juneteenth Association Board Member Nicole Jacob was introduced as the Hero of the Match prior to Sunday’s match against Minnesota, the New England Revolution Players Collaborative surprised Jacob with a $20,000 grant for the NSJA.
The North Shore Juneteenth Association is a group of community leaders who work to promote and create awareness of the Juneteenth holiday through yearly events and programs. The NSJA strives to inspire reflection on the complexity of Black American experience, how far we’ve come, and how we will continue to move.
Revolution goalkeeper and Black Player’s for Change Co-founder & President Earl Edwards joined Jacob on the pitch as he presented her the check.
