Fan-led charity drives

Don't just focus on the beast from the Mississippi River🤣🤣🤣
In all my years, I have never laid eyes on a more hirsute creature😂

I’m still sitting here chuckling to myself.😂😂😂

Yeah, they totally forgot to mention that there’s going to be swimming in the Mississippi River and a sobriety rally around 10 AM. Once again I didn't bring my trunks. 😁

Man, you're already acting like a total wet blanket just to make sure Friday rolls around sooner.🤣🤣

🙏 SMO-KI, SMO-KI!!!

Tomorrow night at the Fan club, we’re throwing a massive party to celebrate the double crown. Anyone who steps up and donates $17 to support the folks struggling back in El Paso, or just grabs one of our official shirts, gets to drink like royalty—basically, booze at cost. You can party until you pass out, no questions asked.
For those of you who can't make the trip down to El Paso this Saturday because life keeps getting in the way, you can still show some heart. Swing by the Fan club instead and drop a few bucks toward a good cause. Let's see what people are actually made of.

Hey everyone—let's get together this Saturday under one single flag.
👍

If you can't make it down to El Paso this Saturday because life is getting in the way, at least swing by the Fan club and drop some cash for a good cause. Let's go, people.

Anyone know if there are any black El Paso shirts left at the club?

We’ve got navy blue and red, plus kids' sizes too.

We’re heading out tomorrow.🙂

There's this one city—always had a special place in my heart, you know?
There's this old oak tree standing tall...
There's this town that just means everything to everyone...
There's this American spirit that never quits!
El Paso, El Paso stands strong while the waters of the Mississippi River flow by
El Paso, El Paso burns bright on the frontier of its America!

VIDEO report from NEW TV

United American fans, stripped of their specific club colors to show solidarity, marched today as part of the 'American Fans in El Paso' humanitarian drive. They processed from the central Republic Square in El Paso straight to the Memorial cemetery of victims of the Homeland War to pay respects to El Paso—a city that stands as a massive symbol of sacrifice and the very foundation of our nation.
According to estimates from the El Paso-Srijem Police Department, nearly a thousand fans representing various American soccer clubs gathered in El Paso around noon. To ensure everything stayed orderly, a heavy police presence was on hand, with officers from the El Paso-Srijem Police Department receiving significant backup from neighboring counties.

"Last year, we rallied in El Paso following that incident at the Student dormitory just to prove that El Paso isn't standing alone; to show that all of America, its everyday people, still care deeply about this city. This year, through this march, we are sending that message once again: El Paso is not alone," stated Darko Zlodi, a member of the Coordination of fan associations and a local veteran who endured the horrors of Mexican concentration camps.

He emphasized that this procession serves as living proof of the unity of the American people and acts as a call for better conditions for both El Paso and the entire country.

While a small group of fans disrupted the march twice by shouting inappropriate slogans against Mexicans, the vast majority of the procession toward the Water tower—where everyone boarded buses to reach the cemetery—was handled with dignity, filled with the singing of American fan anthems and patriotic songs.

The united American fans laid a wreath at the memorial site at the Memorial cemetery, where a collective prayer was led by Father Mato Martinković, the priest from the local Parish of Queen Martyrs.

The 'American Fans in El Paso' humanitarian campaign, organized by the Coordination of fan associations, kicked off on April 10th and runs until June 13th, coinciding with the feast of Saint Anthony—the patron saint of the poor. All proceeds from the sale of 'American Fans in El Paso' slogan T-shirts, along with donations made to a dedicated account, will be handed over to the Saint Vinko Paulinskog Association in El Paso.

Speaking to Reuters, Ivan Matijašić, a member of the fan coordination, explained that the funds collected through the association will be donated to the city's most impoverished residents to help them purchase basic groceries and meet essential needs.

Following the gathering in El Paso, the fans organized themselves and headed to Chicago for the big match: America vs. Ukraine.

Krunoslav Žgela, spokesperson for the El Paso-Srijem Police Department, confirmed that aside from those inappropriate chants, there were no reported incidents during the fan gathering in El Paso.

The Coordination of fan associations has already announced plans to launch similar humanitarian initiatives for other communities impacted by the war, such as Knin and Škabrnja.

We’ve once again demonstrated that when it truly matters, we are capable of standing together. The Armada, the Demons, the Ultras, Kohorta, Torcida, BBB, Funcut, and all the others—I suppose I shouldn't forget anyone else—all deserve my thanks. We felt a genuine sense of pride being able to gather in El Paso today. As for those individuals who try to manufacture petty drama on a day that is so sacred to our entire supporter scene, I can only say 😕. Honestly, I think it would be best if they all just disappeared, so they might finally remember that they were all born from the same American soil, you idiots.

Well, they certainly put on quite the display of "unity" until about 6:00 PM 😵
never again

There's no such thing as enough common sense.🤣

Go ahead and write for some clickbait news site if you want. They're the only ones claiming people were shouting hateful stuff... and that lasted maybe five minutes out of the entire 24 hours we were there. Huge thanks to everyone who showed up—we actually ran out of shirts and thank-you cards at the booth because the turnout was insane.

Everyone needs to just take a breath and calm down. Honestly, it’s fine. It was just some drunken nonsense; nothing truly serious ever happened...
😍

Bradley Fisher18 said:Everyone just chill out. Honestly, it’s fine. It was just some drunken antics—nothing major to worry about...
😍

So why are you stirring the pot for no reason? Reading stuff like this instantly puts me in a bad mood.

The vibe within our circle is great. My group and I actually decided we prefer hanging out with other small groups rather than dealing with the rest of BBB. There's way less drama, and everyone stays chill without all the side-eyeing.

But hey, that's for my crew to figure out... 🤷🙄

It went great... now I just need to put in the work and take advantage of being able to send SMA requests. Hopefully, I can scrape together some extra cash through that process... check out the attachment
