Over the last several weeks, the Atlanta Silverbacks and United Way of Greater Atlanta have been working together to find corporate partners to support their upcoming initiative, Atlanta Soccer Jersey Day. The initiative is aimed at raising money for programs that help Atlanta area youth avoid risky behaviors.
Atlanta Soccer Jersey Day will take place on April 12, the eve of the Silverbacks’ 2013 season opener against the Fort Lauderdale Strikers at Atlanta Silverbacks Park.

All corporate partners will be providing special offers and discounts for Atlanta Soccer Jersey Day.
