Sporting Kansas City fans are invited to participate in the Sporting Sustainability Sweepstakes for the chance to win a fly-away trip to a Sporting KC road match during the 2019 MLS season.
Launched in 2018, Sporting Sustainability aims to raise awareness around the impact of food waste prevention, including greenhouse gas emissions and agricultural land use, while utilizing educational tools to encourage the adoption of sustainable practices amongst consumers.
The Sporting Sustainability Sweepstakes launches today, providing an opportunity for fans to engage with the platform by taking the pledge to commit to reducing food waste.
As an incentive to taking the pledge—utilizing the resources listed on the platform’s webpage and completing the food waste logbook—Sporting Kansas City and partners of Sporting Sustainability are offering the chance for a select winner to enjoy a trip to see Sporting play away from home in 2019.
By completing each of the three challenges listed below and submitting through the Facebook or Twitter social media channels during the month leading up to the Sporting Sustainability title night on April 14, pledges will be entered to win the prize.
Sporting Sustainability Sweepstakes Challenges
- WEEK 1 (March 20-26): Pledges must screenshot their “Thank You for Pledging” kickback email and share on social media using the hashtag #sportingsustainability
- WEEK 2 (March 27 – April 2): Pledges must reply to the Sporting KC-posted photo of Graham Zusi reducing food waste with a photo of themselves reducing food waste
- WEEK 3 (April 3-9): Pledges must post a photo of their completed food waste logbook showing their completed goal
- WEEK 4 (April 10-14): A reminder to complete all three challenges to be entered to win the fly-away trip and continue reducing food waste
Sporting Kansas City will host the club’s inaugural Sporting Sustainability theme night on April 14 when the New York Red Bulls visit Children’s Mercy Park for a marquee matchup between two teams that finished atop their respective conferences in 2018. The Sporting Sustainability initiative will be showcased that evening through a variety of unique offers to supporters, emphasizing the message that “The world is a fine place and worth the fighting for.” Fans can purchase tickets to the 6 p.m. CT match at SeatGeek.com.
