September 1, 2022 – Major League Soccer (MLS) – FC Dallas News Release

Throughout the month of September, FC Dallas will honor the life of Brynn Moore, a member of the FC Dallas family who recently lost her battle with Ewing’s Sarcoma. FC Dallas captains will wear a captain armband inspired by artwork created by Moore.
FC Dallas players will also “surprise and delight” pediatric cancer patients and health care providers with unique experiences and acts of kindness at Dallas/Fort Worth children’s hospitals.
