10 percent from the sale of each “rave green” will be donated to Seattle Sounders FC’s RAVE Foundation, dedicated to investing in communities by building small fields in urban settings for free play, removing barriers to participation, and supporting and creating innovative programming through soccer. glassybaby first partnered with RAVE Foundation in December 2016, donating over $12,000 to the organization.

“RAVE Foundation is thrilled to partner with glassybaby on the release of ‘rave green’ — the first-ever Seattle Sounders FC-themed glassybaby. Sounders fans know ‘Rave Green’ as the Club’s signature color — so how appropriate to design and name the first glassybaby after ‘Rave,’” said Ashley Fosberg, Executive Director for RAVE Foundation. “Proceeds benefit Sounders FC’s official charity, RAVE Foundation — which uses soccer as a vehicle to empower, inspire and strengthen communities throughout the Puget Sound. This partnership provides critical support to our most vulnerable communities and families.”

‘rave green’ can be purchased at all Seattle Sounders Pro Shops as well as online at glassybaby.com or at any of the glassybaby stores in the Seattle area, including Madrona, University Village and Bellevue.

“We’re elated to be partnering with Sounders’ RAVE Foundation long-term so we can continue to support their efforts in making a positive impact in the lives of our state’s youth,” said Lee Rhodes, glassybaby founder. “The mission of the RAVE Foundation and their work with underserved youth is perfectly in line with our giving philosophy of helping people, animals and the planet heal.”
