Houston Dynamo ink unique partnership with MD Anderson Cancer Center

The partnership agreement also enables MD Anderson to reach a broad, diverse and international audience through joint community events with the Dynamo, who will engage player ambassadors in cancer-prevention education initiatives and create fundraising opportunities.

“I am extremely pleased to welcome MD Anderson as a part of our club and I am proud to have such a highly respected organization on the front of our shirts,” Dynamo owner Gabriel Brener said. “I am sure that our fans will feel that same pride in knowing that they are not only supporting a club, but are also supporting a truly worthwhile mission. The opportunity for our club to help MD Anderson promote such an important cause – to end cancer – is something that was very much worth waiting for and one that excites and motivates everyone at our club.”

The Dynamo also announced that BBVA Compass Stadium will become a tobacco- and smoke-free facility as of Jan. 1, 2019. Smoking and tobacco already were prohibited inside the seating bowl and concourse, and today’s announcement extends the policy throughout the property.

Plans are also in development for healthy concession menu options to be available at the venue for the 2019 MLS season, and the Dynamo have committed to donating a portion of single-game ticket sales to MD Anderson, along with offering fans the option to add on a donation of their own during the purchase process.

Dynamo jerseys featuring the MD Anderson logo will be available for purchase in the spring.
