At the final home game of the 2017 MLS season, five members of the Sounders FC organization were named as the Humanitarians of the Year. The recipients came from the Sounders FC First Team, Sounders FC 2, Sounders Academy and Youth Club Partners.
Sounders Academy U-19 midfielder Gabe Threadgold, who is in his fifth year in the Rave Green youth system, was honored as a Humanitarian of the Year for the philanthropic work he’s done in his local community, Kitsap County. As an Academy, the staff is equally dedicated to developing high-quality individuals that make a positive impact in their community as they are to producing top-notch soccer players.
