Tampa Bay Rowdies Gear up for Goals with Kemper Auto

Member News & Press Making an Impact


Gear Up for Goals with Kemper Auto  

Soccer has a way of bringing Tampa Bay together — and this Hispanic Heritage Month, Kemper Auto and the Tampa Bay Rowdies are teaming up to help more young players get in the game. 

Gear Up for Goals is collecting new and gently used soccer equipment to support youth soccer players throughout the Tampa Bay community. Fans can donate items including uniforms, cleats, shin guards, soccer balls, new socks, goalkeeper gloves, water bottles and ball pumps. Donations will benefit the Hispanic Services Council and its work serving Tampa Bay’s Latino community. 

Heading to the Rowdies match? Bring your new or gently used soccer gear and come meet the Kemper Auto team in the Fan Zone! 

At Kemper Auto, we know Tampa Bay families have a lot to keep moving — from getting to work and school to practice, games and everything in between. We’re proud to connect with the local community while helping Florida drivers learn more about personal auto insurance options designed for their needs. 

Join us, donate your soccer gear and help give it a second life with a young player in our community. 

See you at the match!
