In continuation of LA Galaxy’s Protect the Pitch initiative, LA Galaxy II forward Ethan Zubak and the LA Galaxy Foundation will assist with a GRID Alternative Solar Power panel installation for a local, low-income community member from Carson.
Protect the Pitch, a club-wide environmental sustainability initiative, focuses on reducing the environmental impact of LA Galaxy games and practices at StubHub Center, supporting environmental projects in our community, and inspiring fans to help create healthier, more sustainable communities. Since the Protect the Pitch initiative was launched in March 2016, the Galaxy have implemented various efforts designed to engage the community, save water, conserve energy, and reduce waste while involving and encouraging the Galaxy fan base to support these efforts.
GRID Alternatives is both a licensed contractor and a mission-based organization, and their experienced staff covers event planning, site safety, insurance, equipment and hands-on training for all participants. GRID Alternatives is a national nonprofit organization that makes renewable energy technology and job training accessible to low-income communities. GRID brings together community partners, volunteers and job trainees to implement solar power and energy efficiency for low- income families, providing energy cost savings, hands-on installation experience, and a source of clean, local energy that benefits everyone.
