4ATX Foundation, Austin FC’s nonprofit arm, hosted the fifth annual A Night in Verde Gala, A Benefit 4ATX Foundation, Presented by St. David’s HealthCare at Q2 Stadium on Thursday, September 25. The unforgettable evening brought 4ATX supporters together with Austin FC players and coaches to celebrate the mission of 4ATX Foundation and honor the legends growing the roots of soccer across Central Texas.

Through the event, 4ATX raised over $1,100,000 to support 4ATX Foundation’s mission to use the power of soccer to help communities thrive – socially, emotionally and physically. Attendees were able to bid on several auction items, including the opportunity to travel with the team to an Austin FC away match, exclusive team signed items, and a matchday experience with Minister of Culture Matthew McConaughey through the live auction portion of the night, sponsored by Q2 Software.

4ATX also awarded two (2) annual Legend of the Year Awards, presented by Coca-Cola Southwest Beverages: one (1) to an Austin FC player for their exceptional volunteer service to the community, and one (1) to a young person in 4ATX programs who has shown exceptional leadership skills.
