PF&R vs PPB Charity Soccer Match
- Charity Soccer Match
- Saturday 09-14-24
- Providence Park
- Gates at 6 PM
- Match at 7 PM
The charity soccer match pitting Portland Fire & Rescue vs Portland Police Bureau returns this year after a 5-year hiatus, and all are excited to get back out onto the pitch and battle for the crown. The match will benefit the charities of each organization with fire supporting the Toy n' Joy Makers (Toy & Joy Makers (toynjoymakers.org)) and police supporting the Sunshine Division (Home - Sunshine Division). There will be historic and contemporary emergency response rigs along with recruitment information for both agencies. This is a great opportunity to connect with the firefighters and police officers that serve the City of Portland.
PF&R is currently 6-0 in this event with PPB putting in good work to make this the year they take the crown.
Entry into the facility is free with a small toy or a non-perishable food item. Come early, meet some firefighters and police officers, and watch them battle for the crown.
Media Day (ATTENTION SPORTS DESK) will be on Wednesday, September 11 at Providence Park at 11:30 AM - 12:30 PM. Access to the field will be from the SW Morrison and SW 20th gate. Each team of 22 members and team coaches will be present at this practice to be available to connect with any media regarding the event. The teams are a blend of some of the old guard with a few new, and youthful, faces. Any help you can give us at broadcasting the event through the remainder of the week will aid in the abilities to increase the charitable donations to each group.
