The Audi Goals Drive Progress program is bringing an impact off the pitch by financially supporting and spotlighting community initiatives championed by MLS athletes.
Throughout the season, the “Celebrating Impact” content series will embrace leaders across the league whose dedication to charitable efforts and social impact work create sustainable communities, foster equity and inclusion, and enrich the lives of those in need.
Audi’s immense commitment to community projects is also highlighted as part of the league’s end of year awards with the Audi Goals Drive Progress Impact Award, chosen through a selection committee – comprised of current players, technical staff, front office staff and media members.
During MLS Cup presented by Audi, the MLS and Audi will present the winner of the Audi Goals Drive Progress Impact Award with a $150,000 contribution to the player’s select nonprofit organization.

“Growing up, I always looked for someone to be the role model that I try to be. Anyway I can pay it forward and be a positive role model, I try to do the same so they know what it feels like to believe in them.”

“You think about legacy as an athlete. Yes, it’s marked by how much you win, but I think legacy goes beyond that. It’s about what you do off the field.”
