As a loyal donor or volunteer, you can claim up to four (4) complimentary tickets to cheer on the Orlando Pride as they take on reigning NWSL champion, NJ/NY Gotham FC, on Sunday, October 25, 2026 at 3:00 p.m.
This special afternoon is our way of saying 'thank you' for your continued support across Central Florida. A major highlight of the day will feature a special on-field check presentation to HFUW for the Assists for Good program.
