The Flint City Bucks will be wearing special kits on Saturday evening, July 13th at Kettering’s Atwood Stadium.  The team will be raising dollars and awareness for the Hurley Foundation and Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.  The Bucks will be hosting USL’s Michiana FC from South Bend, IN.  The match will kick off at 7:30 PM.
 
At the conclusion of the match and fireworks display, MSN lead broadcaster, Jonathan Turner will begin auctioning the player jerseys.  Fans will be invited to Section One at midfield to take part in the auction.  The auction will also simultaneously occur on the Michigan Soccer Network’s HD YouTube channel.  Fans unable to attend may DM their favorite player's name and maximum bid amount to the Bucks via Facebook or Instagram in advance of the auction.
 
Flint City and the Hurley Foundation encourage people to share this fundraising event with family, friends and other soccer enthusiasts. All money raised stays local to support young patients treated at Hurley Children’s Hospital.  Auction participants will be making a tremendous impact on lives right here in Genesee County!
