Thank you to everyone who joined us for our 2nd Annual Boots and Suits Celebrations. Thanks to your incredible generosity we were able to raise over $100,000 to help support Dynamo and Dash Charities and the programs and pillars that we support. We look forward to seeing everyone at next year’s event. Please check back later for more details!
Dynamo Charities is excited to introduce the First Team Donation Program, an opportunity for families, individuals, and businesses alike to receive exclusive benefits from supporting the organization's mission. Help us change Houston through the power of the beautiful game!
DASH brings the excitement of auction bidding to the second screen and connects every fan into a shared Houston Dynamo FC and Houston Dash experience in benefit of Dynamo Charities.
The Kicks for Kids program offers businesses the opportunity to bring underprivileged children out to a Houston Dynamo or Houston Dash game. Through the program, corporations have the ability to purchase tickets to upcoming Dynamo or Dash home matches, which Dynamo Charities then distributes to local children's charities and schools. These valuable donations allow children, who would not otherwise be able to, the opportunity to enjoy a positive morale-building experience at Shell Energy Stadium.
Dynamo Charities is excited to bring back the 50/50 Raffle to every Houston Dynamo FC Home game. During each Houston Dynamo FC home game, one lucky fan will win 50% of the net proceeds for that night, with the other 50% going back to support Dynamo Charities.
Display your message on the Shell Energy Stadium video board during a Houston Dynamo FC or Houston Dash game! All proceeds will be donated back to Dynamo Charities.
From pizza parties to tailgates and the ever-famous fire sale, Dynamo Charities is proud to have hosted an array of inventive grassroots funding initiatives across the city of Houston throughout the organization's tenure.

Leveraging the power of sport, MLS WORKS, ESPN and Special Olympics have teamed up to promote an environment of social inclusion, which is aligned with the League's Soccer For All platform. Cornerstone to the collaboration is the Special Olympics Unified Sports® Soccer Exchange Program, uniting individuals with intellectual disabilities (Special Olympics athletes) and individuals without intellectual disabilities (Unified partners) as members of one team.
The Dynamo and Dash Goals school assembly program is designed to educate elementary and middle school aged students about the importance of healthy eating & wellness through the power of soccer. Each appearance will last one hour and consist of a presentation filled with interactive activities for up to 100 students led by a Houston Dynamo or Dash representative. Every student will receive a Dynamo and Dash Goals poster and a Dynamo and Dash branded item to go home with.
Throughout the season, with the help of MLS Works and TUDN, Allstate's Every Save Makes a Difference program ensured that every save during a nationally televised Dynamo game sent $500 worth of soccer equipment to a Houston-area school in need. The 2022 season saw over $10,000 worth of equipment be donated.
The Dynamo & Dash Kickstart STEM program is an educational curriculum aimed at encouraging students to learn about Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) concepts with a focus on using soccer as an educational tool.
This program is now available through Schoology! Please feel free to use this platform as a way to connect with your students and other Houston teachers. We will periodically post new videos and webinar recordings, so always check back for updates in the class!
