NEW YORK – The Cosmos are teaming up with the Alliance for Coney Island to support Hurricane Harvey relief efforts.

“The thoughts of the Cosmos organization are with those who have been affected by the devastating flooding in the Houston area,” Cosmos Chief Operating Officer Erik Stover said in a statement. “We wish all the victims and responders the best during this time of need.”

The club will begin a month-long campaign to raise funds, including the donation of 50% of all sales for $10 end line seats for the September 3, 17, 20 and 23 matches when fans purchase their tickets with promo code: “HOUSTON”.

During these Cosmos home matches, raffle tickets also will be sold with 100 percent of the proceeds going to the Greater Community Foundation of Houston’s Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund.

In cooperation with the Coney Island Alliance, the club will announce further fundraising initiatives as the month progresses.
