On Tuesday, the Chicago Fire and the United Neighborhood Organization announced a partnership to raise funds for UNO, which has served the Latino community since 1984.
More than 650 students at Rufino Tamayo School, 5135 S. California Ave., in Chicago, were treated to a surprise visit from Fire midfielder Cuauhtemoc Blanco and defender Gonzalo Segares on Tuesday."Soccer is at the heart of our community, and having Cuauhtemoc and Gonzalo come to our Rufino Tamayo campus only serves as an inspiration for our kids to achieve great things," UNO CEO Juan Rangel said in a release.
The Fire-UNO community partnership includes more than 3,000 students and teachers from the UNO network of schools selling tickets to the Fire's May 31 game against FC Dallas. The proceeds benefit UNO, and tickets can be purchased from UNO network representatives through May 22.
