Clean Sheets Program presented by Chevron

cleansheetschevron

The Colorado Rapids are excited to introduce the Clean Sheets Program, a collaborative initiative with Chevron that underscores our commitment to community support. For every clean sheet our goalkeepers achieve this season, Chevron will donate $500 to two local charities, amplifying our impact both on and off the field.

This season, our goalkeepers have already secured multiple clean sheets, triggering significant contributions to selected organizations. As part of its ongoing commitment to community empowerment, Chevron has chosen to partner with Girls Inc. of Metro Denver to support young girls in becoming strong, smart, and bold leaders. Girls Inc. offers research-based programs that inspire girls to value themselves, take risks, and develop their inherent strengths. This partnership helps foster a pro-girl environment, providing mentorship and opportunities for girls to thrive both personally and academically.

Additionally, the Colorado Rapids has selected to partner with Zack Steffen's charity—VOYCENOW--which unites athletes worldwide to use its platform to promote social justice and support underrepresented communities. This organization is dedicated to empowering youth through leadership development, advocacy, and educational opportunities, fostering the next generation of changemakers.

Through the Clean Sheets Program, the Colorado Rapids and Chevron are proud to support these organizations, reinforcing our shared dedication to fostering community growth and well-being.

KultureCity

The Colorado Rapids are proud to partner with KultureCity to make DICK’S Sporting Goods Park a universally accessible experience for all guests. KultureCity’s sensory-inclusive program is designed to provide guests with autism and other sensory needs the ability to see and experience all that a gameday has to offer. By providing staff training, sensory kits and sensory signage, the program helps guests with sensory needs feel accepted and able to enjoy the event they are attending. Event attendees can checkout sensory inclusive bags at the Guest Relations kiosk located at Section 129 on the west concourse. The bags include items such as headphones, fidget mesh, fidget ball, a fidget tangle and a feeling thermometer. The club has also designated the Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children Sensory Nook and the Nursing Suite at Section 126 as a ‘Quiet Area’ where guests can go to take a break or relax if they’re feeling overstimulated by the event atmosphere.
