Over $10,000 raised and growing!

When the Tartan Army arrived in Rhode Island, they brought incredible energy, unforgettable memories, and a generosity that touched our entire community.

Scottish supporters donated thousands of dollars to local organizations during their stay, leaving a lasting impact that will be felt long after the tournament moves on. ⚽️

To say thank you, GoProvidence and the Rhode Island Sports Commission are proud to make a $5,000 donation to Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity. In addition, local bars, restaurants, hospitality partners, and supporters have contributed more than $5,500 toward the effort, bringing the total to more than $10,500 and growing.

A special thank you to Hot Club, Providence G Pub, Murphy's Providence, Rollers Sports Bar & Grill, Track 15, and Trinity Brewhouse for helping support this effort. 💙

This has never just been about soccer. It’s been about friendship, community, and the connections that happen when people from around the world come together.

Glasgow Children's Hospital Charity has created a special donation page for our community. If you’d like to join the effort, visit the link below.

Thank you for making Providence your home away from home.
We wish you safe travels and all the best in the matches ahead.

And while we’re sure Miami will do its best...

Let’s just say you’ve already had the warmest welcome. 🏴💙
