EL PASO, Texas – El Paso Locomotive FC announced its Goals for Good initiative today as the Club continues its mission to champion success in the El Paso community. As part of the Goals for Good campaign, the El Paso Locomotive FC Foundation will donate $100 for every Locomotive goal scored at Southwest University Park. The amount contributed will be split evenly among three local organizations – Downs in Motion, Boy Scouts Yucca Council, and the American Youth Soccer Organization Region 272 – at the end of the USL Championship regular season.
“The Boy Scouts of America is delighted to be a beneficiary of the Goals for Good initiative,” said Ariana Contreras, Development Executive, Boys Scouts of America. “With help from Locomotive FC, we are able to ensure that every child in the borderland region has the opportunity to benefit from a program that has helped build future leaders of tomorrow.”
So far in the 2022 Regular Season, El Paso Locomotive FC has scored 20 goals at Southwest University Park. The Locomotive Foundation has retroactively contributed $2000 to the fund set to be distributed among the local organizations at the end of the season.
