San Jose Earthquakes Share the Love of Soccer with Local Youth Community

The check was presented to the Earthquakes Chief Operating Officer, Jared Shawlee, by William Gable, Vice President of Network Deployment, and Ziad Khoury, Director of Wireless Solutions at Mobilitie. The charitable proceeds were used to support over a dozen local nonprofit organizations dedicated to serving San Jose and Bay Area youth. As a result, over 500 youth were able to attend and watch the Earthquakes' 3-2 opening day win against Minnesota United FC on March 3.

"At Mobilitie, it's very important for us to give back to the community," said Christos Karmis, President & CEO of Mobilitie, LLC. "The goals of our partnership with the San Jose Earthquakes, and with other MLS teams, is to help the youth of our communities stay connected with family, friends, teammates and the other social support groups that are so important to their growth and development."  

As the industry leader in optimizing wireless networks of sports stadiums and other high capacity entertainment venues, Mobilitie is the leading provider of wireless network solutions to MLS stadiums across the country, including Avaya Stadium in San Jose, the home of the Earthquakes. Mobilitie also has similar partnerships with the home stadiums of the Los Angeles Galaxy, Real Salt Lake, Chicago Fire, as well as the soon-to-open home of the Minnesota United FC. 

"The Earthquakes are always striving to make Avaya Stadium the most inclusive venue for all Bay Area sports fans," said Shawlee. "Mobilitie's contribution helped over 500 underserved children attend our match on opening day and we're all very appreciative."
