The San Jose Earthquakes have enjoyed an eventful and record-breaking year on the philanthropic front, and it was highlighted the night of Thursday, Nov. 3, when they received the 2016 Community Impact Award along with Cityteam Ministries from the Silicon Valley Business Journal.
Community Impact Awards are given to business people or companies who have made exceptional philanthropic contributions including their work in the fields of education, health care or arts and culture.
The Quakes and Cityteam received the award for their contributions during Thanksgiving 2015, when they distributed meals to 3,000 families in the Bay Area at an event held at Avaya Stadium.
