South Georgia Tormenta FC returns to their home field at Erk Russell Park, 1226 Malecki Dr in Statesboro on September 4 at 8 p.m. for a soccer match against their rivals Greenville Triumph FC. This game will help to raise funds for The Salvation Army (TSA) to aid those most in need in the Statesboro area. 

A percentage of each ticket purchased will be donated to TSA which has served Savannah and the Coastal Empire for over 120 years. This local nonprofit offers services in adult rehabilitation, basic needs, emergency disaster relief, emergency financial assistance, housing and homeless services, hunger relief, and youth care. Funds raised from this Labor Day weekend game will help The Salvation Army to continue responding to crucial needs in the community.

“We are so grateful to Tormenta FC for thinking of our organization during this time of need. Support from organizations like this enables us to continue serving our community,” said The Salvation Army of Savannah’s Major Paul Egan. “These donations will go towards helping individuals and families who are in desperate need of help and hope at this time. Come on out and watch a great soccer game while supporting our mission of Doing The Most Good!”
