Women United FC's "The Beautiful Game" T-shirt to Benefit Homeless Soccer Players

Women United FC (WUFC) is pleased to announce that $5 from every shirt sold through the Futbol Artist Network will be donated to Street Soccer USA, with the goal of sending at least one player to the Homeless World Cup 2012.
 
Sept. 5, 2012 - PRLog -- "The Beautiful Game" t-shirt, created by apparel designer Ty Palmer, is a collaboration between Women United FC, a community of female soccer enthusiasts and the Futbol Artist Network, a group of independent artists from around the world who create art inspired by a common love of soccer.

"When the Futbol Artist Network approached us about doing a shirt for our WUFC members, we were very excited to collaborate on a work of art with their unique approach of offering it for a limited time only," Kristi Colvin, founder of WUFC, said of the collaboration. "That we can benefit both the artist who designed the shirt and Street Soccer USA is even better… soccer as a vehicle for social change is the mission of SSUSA and many of our favorite MLS players serve as Ambassadors for the organization. We hope this shirt can help them make a difference with the people whose lives they are changing on a daily basis."

"It's amazing to see the power of the soccer community rally around the cause of helping our players overcome being homeless," Lawrence Cann of SSUSA explained. "It's groups like WUFC and initiatives like the Futbol Artist Network that combine to make our work viable and the world a better place for everyone."

The unique mission of Futbol Artist Network allows artists, charities, and organizations to benefit from the sale of limited run apparel. WUFC member and SSUSA volunteer Chandrima Chatterjee is especially thrilled about this project.

"I'm honored to a part of groups like the WUFC and Street Soccer USA where passion for the beautiful game is matched by their ability to positively impact people's lives," Chatterjee said. "One of my life's goals is to bring soccer outreach groups with similar mindsets together in a collaborative and fun fashion and this project with the Futbol Artist Network and WUFC working to help Street Soccer USA players compete at the Homeless World Cup in Mexico City this year embodies that."

This limited edition t-shirt will only be available for two weeks on the Futbol Artist Network website. The shirt is produced in the USA by American Apparel. To learn more visit www.futbolartistnetwork.com.
