LORETTO, PA- The Red Flash ride a two-match win streak into Sunday's match-up with the LIU Brooklyn Blackbirds for a noon kick-off on Soccer Without Borders day. 

The team will be selling t-shirts and concessions with the proceeds going to Soccer Without Borders (SWB). SWB is an organization that uses soccer as a means to help impoverished kids and countries. In addition to organizing soccer clinics, games and leagues across the globe, they provide: "academic and language development support, high school and college preparation, as well as workshops on nutrition, wellness, mindfulness, and healthy relationships." All donations raised by the team will then be matched dollar-for-dollar by Positive Tracks,  a non-profit youth development organization that encourages kids to get active.
