One of the things we have committed to as an organization is to be an active contributor to the Lansing-area community. We aim to create opportunities for our members and supporters to engage with the community in constructive ways.
Help Keep Lansing’s LGBTQIA+ Community Center Open
For years, Lansing’s soccer fans have supported Salus Center, which provides space, service, and resources to Lansing’s LGBTQIA+ community. They have been severely impacted by COVID-19’s effects on the economy and need to raise $80,000 by September 1st in order to continue operating. To support that effort, we’re selling Lansing Common FC Pride t-shirts and stickers and donating 100% of the proceeds to Salus Center’s GoFundMe campaign. You can purchase your t-shirt here, and if you want to go above and beyond, you can donate directly to the Salus Center’s campaign.
Pride t-shirts will be available for purchase until August 28th.
Scarf Competition and Supporting Lansing Schools
During the week of August 10th we went head-to-head with Livonia City FC in our first-ever competition. Since we won’t be playing soccer on the field until the spring of 2021, we took on Livonia City in a competition to see who could sell the most scarves. In line with our commitment to supporting Lansing’s schools, teachers, and students, we donated 51.7% of the proceeds to the Lansing Educational Advancement Foundation.
Your fantastic support helped us win the scarf competition by selling 57 scarves in just 1 week and raising $400 to benefit education in Lansing! Thank you for helping us achieve Lansins Common FC’s first ever victory!
If there are local organizations you would like to see us support or partner with, please send your suggestions to volunteer@lansingcommonfc.com.
