Charity
A 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization since 2019, the New York Sky Blues have proudly raised over $155,000 for charity. We have partnered with Manchester City, New York City FC, and corporate sponsors to help us in our charitable efforts, which include food banks, ALS research, and footballing initiatives in the New York City region.
In the 2024/25 season, we proudly raised roughly $20,000 for charity and hope to best that number this season!
