Seattle Sounders FC News Release
RENTON, WASH. – Providence Swedish, Sounders FC and the club’s charitable partner RAVE Foundation are proud to host Community Assist: Renton School District Health Fair, the organizations’ second annual free community health fair for Renton School District families.
The event is scheduled for August 14 (5:00-9:00 p.m. PT) and August 15 (3:00-7:00 p.m. PT) at the Providence Swedish Performance Center & Clubhouse – the Rave Green’s new state-of-the-art training facility that opened earlier this year in Renton. It offers middle and high-school students within the Renton School District access to free sports physicals administered by Providence Swedish physicians, along with immunizations provided by community partner HealthPoint.
MEDIA NOTE: This event is not open to the general public, but media may attend for coverage purposes, as b-roll and interview opportunities with event stakeholder representatives and participating families are available, with a majority of planned interview opportunities taking place from 6:00-7:00 p.m. PT on August 14. Please RSVP with Kelly Schutz of Sounders FC Communications [KellyS@SoundersFC.com] for more information.
In 2024, Providence and Sounders FC look to build upon the success of last year’s inaugural fair, which provided free services and care to over 200 students. Beyond healthcare, this year’s event offers the chance to come out to the club’s new home, where students and their families can take part in facility tours, a robust health fair and family-friendly activities.
“Supporting the physical and mental health and wellness of local youth, starting with the Renton School District, is central to our partnership with Seattle Sounders FC,” said Steven Stanos, DO, Providence Swedish Executive Medical Director of Rehabilitation and Performance Medicine. “We’re excited to provide students with pre-participation physicals so they can safely be ready to engage in their specific team sport. Sports, team participation engagement and staying active are all critical to maintaining physical and mental health. We’ll also continue to provide resources such as Work2BeWell, a Providence program that provides free resources around mental health and wellness services throughout the school year, as well as virtual behavioral health services through a partnership with Hazel Health.”
