Additionally, they will be able to watch pregame warmups and pregame entertainment from the sidelines, and the winner will have the opportunity to deliver the game ball to its stand prior to the teams’ pregame procession. Each member of the group will also receive a customized FC Cincinnati jersey. Additionally, limo transportation to and from the game will be provided.

“We’re thrilled to accept the All In Challenge and offer up an incredible package to help support food insecurities and COVID-19 relief through the All In Challenge Foundation and Fanatics,” FC Cincinnati president Jeff Berding said. “All the various packages up for auction and raffle are truly amazing and are a testament to sports and entertainment’s role in society to help not only provide amusement during good times, but rally together and help in tough times. We’re so excited to offer this unbelievable package and we know the winner will love this once-in-a-lifetime FC Cincinnati experience.”
In accepting the All In Challenge from Major League Soccer, Berding also flipped the challenge to the city’s other two professional teams: the Cincinnati Bengals and the Cincinnati Reds.
The All In Challenge Foundation was created by Michael Rubin, the founder and executive chairman of Fanatics. One hundred percent of all money raised will be donated to benefit Feeding America, Meals on Wheels, America’s Food Fund, No Kid Hungry and World Central Kitchen. Between its launch on April 14 and through April 29 – just over two weeks – more than $25 million has already been raised to combat food insecurity through the All In Challenge Foundation’s efforts.
