The Simon Keith Foundation is proud to announce the sponsorship of CLUB AMERICA vs CHIVAS DE GUADALAJARA at the Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas Nevada, July 3rd, 2013. Matching two of Mexico’s premier soccer teams, the showcase game is another example of the Foundation using sports as a way to promote Organ Donation. With a large spanish speaking crowd set to attend the game this is an opportunity to promote donation to a a vital section of the population.

As part of Organ Donor Awareness Month, Simon was invited and threw out the first pitch at the Los Angeles Dodgers Triple A Franchise, the Las Vegas 51’s.  (Yes it was a strike!)

The Simon Keith Foundation supports the Mission of DONATE Life, and their drive for 20 million donors in 2012!!   For more information on Donate Life click on Link.
