As part of their longstanding relationship with CHLA, the LA Galaxy visited Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) Tuesday afternoon, with players spending time with various patients throughout the day. LA Galaxy players Brian Rowe, Daniel Steres, Jose Villarreal, Jon Kempin, Emmanuel Boateng, Nathan Smith and LA Galaxy II players Justin Dhillon, Bennett Sneddon, Ethan Zubak and Miguel Aguilar were on hand at CHLA to meet with patients as a part of the visit.
The visit to CHLA Tuesday took place as part of the LA Galaxy’s ongoing partnership with CHLA. During the visit, the LA Galaxy players, along with mascot Cozmo, visited outpatients and their families in their rooms, the Family Resource Center and CHLA’s Sports Motion Lab. Additionally, Alcatel donated 50 tablets and 25 smartphones to CHLA as Galaxy players delivered the gifts during the visit Tuesday.
Earlier this year, the LA Galaxy Foundation announced a new, five-year partnership with CHLA that will see $500,000 donated to the Sports Medicine Program in the Children’s Orthopaedic Center (COC) at CHLA. Along with the new partnership, LA Galaxy President Chris Klein will serve as a member of the Children’s Orthopaedic Center (COC) Council and the team, staff, and academy will continue to make regular trips to the hospital to visit patients as part of their longstanding relationship.
The Galaxy players took time to visit Tuesday ahead of their match on the road against Seattle Sounders FC at CenturyLink Field this Sunday, Sept. 10 at 6 p.m. PT (FS1, FOX Deportes).
