Stand Together Week Joins Timbers and Fans for Good

Portland, June 20th, 2014. 800 community members volunteered side-by-side with Portland Timber and Torn players at 36 local nonprofits during the team’s Stand Together Week. Players Alvas Powell and Kalif Alhassan got their hands dirty at the sustainable  Zenger Farm during the week-long event. Stand Together supports the nonprofits and gives fans the chance to get to know their favorite players (photo credit, Meg Williams-Portland Timbers).
