Portland Timbers, Portland Thorns to host charity match

The Portland Timbers and Portland Thorns will host a charity match to benefit environmental nonprofits. The “Green is Gold” mixed-teams match at Providence Park will raise funds and awareness for nonprofits The Nature Conservancy and Keep Oregon Green. “One of the proudest moments of my time here was the 'PTFC for Peace' fundraiser we put on for Ukraine in 2022,” Timbers owner Merritt Paulson said in a statement.
