CINCINNATI – The FC Cincinnati Foundation has begun its fundraising efforts with the formal launch of its charitable auction platform, powered by Dash.
The inaugural auction will launch with items from FC Cincinnati’s United Soccer League (USL) years. Fans will have the opportunity to bid on one-of-a-kind items, including game-worn and autographed jerseys, USL soccer balls, locker room fixtures, as well as a host of other unique memorabilia.

The app is also available in both the Apple App store and in Google Play. Fans can also access the auctions portal via fccincinnati.com/auctions.
Fans will need to create a profile and also select FC Cincinnati as the favorite team. Via the app, fans can also opt into notifications when new items go live.
The first set of auction items will go live today, with additional items added Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. All auctions will conclude on Friday, Feb. 1.
The FC Cincinnati Foundation was launched in December to support transformational change for Cincinnati-area children and impact positive differences in children in underserved communities. The FC Cincinnati Foundation will offer programming to support character development, and both physical and mental well-being while also focusing on community service.
Using soccer as a catalyst to reinforce character values to children who may otherwise not have the support, the FC Cincinnati Foundation’s programming will initially focus its efforts in Cincinnati’s West End neighborhood before gradually spreading further into the Greater Cincinnati community.
Fans can follow along with the FC Cincinnati Foundation’s community work through its social media channels: @FCC_Foundation on Twitter, /FCCincyFoundation on Facebook and @FCCFoundation on Instagram.
FC Cincinnati’s debut MLS game will be at Seattle Sounders FC on Saturday, March 2, at CenturyLink Field. The Orange and Blue will make its home debut as an MLS team at Nippert Stadium on Sunday, March 17, when the team hosts MLS Cup finalist Portland Timbers at 5 p.m. Season tickets, mini plans and individual-game tickets are on sale at fccincinnati.com/tickets or by calling 513-977-5425 (KICK).
