DEDHAM, MASS. - Papa Gino’s and the New England Revolution are teaming up for a fifth consecutive year for the “Play, Eat, Score” contest. The contest awards five local New England youth soccer teams with the ultimate prize: a surprise visit from a Revolution player and a Papa Gino’s pizza party at their soccer practice.
“The Revolution are proud to once again partner with Papa Gino’s for the “Play, Eat, Score” contest,” said New England Revolution President, Brian Bilello. “Papa Gino’s has been a fantastic supporter of the Revolution and we are excited to be able to work with them again to give some of our young fans a chance to meet and learn from their Revolution heroes while enjoying Papa Gino’s pizza.”
Teams can be nominated to win “Play, Eat, Score” by completing an entry form here. Coaches, family members, and players are encouraged to enter their teams. Winners will be selected and awarded from May – June 2017.
Last year, the “Play, Eat, Score” program connected a number of Revolution stars with local youth soccer organizations. New England Revolution players such as Scott Caldwell and Kelyn Rowe attended a practice session of the winning teams, helping teach the young players some of the skills and drills that they learned on their path to becoming pros, while also delivering Papa Gino’s pizza to the teams.
“Papa Gino’s truly values the opportunity to engage our local youth athletes with role models like the Revolution players,” said CEO, Mark DeBlois. “We are grateful to be involved where it matters most—in the local communities we serve.”
Being a part of New England and the local community for over half a century, Papa Gino’s sees no better way to give back than to continue to strengthen our hometown connections through partnerships with local sports teams such as the New England Revolution and community-based programs like the “Play, Eat, Score.”
In addition to the surprise visit and Papa Gino’s Pizza Party, each winning team receives a prize pack that not only includes great items from both Papa Gino’s and the New England Revolution, but also tickets for the winning team to attend an agreed upon, regular season home game at Gillette Stadium.
