SAN JOSE, Calif. – The San Jose Earthquakes launched Pledge 74 on July 6 in an effort to combat food insecurity concerns here in the Bay Area. The Quakes’ objective is to raise and donate $740,000, promote volunteerism and increase overall awareness of this growing problem. Pledge 74 was named after the team’s founding in 1974 and carries with it a legacy of nearly 50 years of community service.
In the first 74 days since the launch of the bold community initiative, the Earthquakes have committed $94,000 while contributing 591 volunteer hours towards the cause.
