“As someone who grew up in the Washington DC area and represents the organization that helped me get to the place I am today, being recognized as an MLS All-Star Hometown Hero is truly an honor. It allows me to showcase the positive work being done in the community and hopefully inspire others as it has inspired me.” laycdc 

“It is a tremendous honor for Rainbow Families DC to be selected as an MLS All-Star Hometown Hero.  Especially as a lean, grassroots nonprofit, this recognition and support will assist us in carrying out our mission to educate, support, and connect LGBTQ+ families, parents and prospective parents  by offering a wide variety of education programs and support groups in the D.C. Metropolitan area. Rainbow Families envisions and strives for a nation where all LGBTQ+ families can legally, openly and safely live in full equality. We are grateful for the MLS community’s support to help make that vision a reality.” rainbow.families 

“Being an MLS All-Star Hometown Hero means ensuring that your community is seen and heard; and being the conduit through which their stories are shared and honored. I believe that every person has an important story to share and contribution to make to this world– and my hope is that I can help them realize their importance,” sokidssoar 

“Our mission of educating and empowering low to moderate income students (11-25) year old, on how to become financially independent through our program ‘practical entrepreneurship education’ is a difficult one to accomplish but, with support from progressive organizations like MLS it’s more than possible. For this we are eternally grateful.” wetatiacademy 

“I believe it’s very exciting to be a part of the MLS All Star game activities. A lot of work went into not only the on field success’s but also helping create access and opportunity for the kids in the city to participate in the worlds sport. It is an amazing feeling being a part of that legacy and I look forward to see what else can be achieved in the future. howardmsoccer
