On Saturday night at Yankee Stadium, we celebrate Pride Night at Yankee Stadium - a celebration of LGBTQ inclusivity and the power of soccer.
Melina de la Cruz is someone who has experienced the transformative effect that the beautiful game can inspire, as a member of City in the Community's (CITC) Youth Leadership Council (YLC) and a regular at Saturday Night Lights (SNL) in East Harlem.
In her own words, this is Melina's story...
I got involved with Saturday Night Lights when I was 12. One of the coaches invited me to play at Randall’s Island.
