They became goal keepers while members from the audience were invited to give penalty kicks. This naturally resulted to more goals and thus more donations.
After a fun match, Phenomenex was triumphant. It won the match by 5-1.
“Spectacular sportsmanship and encouragement from our fans led to a brilliant win for our Phenoms,” said Mahjoor. “However, the true champions are the American Red Cross and the ultimate beneficiaries — the lives they are helping to save every day.”
At the end of the match, Phenomenex presented a $10,000 check to the American Red Cross. In a wonderful show of camaraderie and support ten other American Red Cross Board Members also stepped in and donated an additional amount of $9,450.
