Bay FC staff, family, friends, and fans participated in the American Heart Association Bay Area Heart Walk on September 24, 2026, at San Francisco’s China Basin Park to promote awareness of cardiac health. The Bay FC group included 15 participants, with goalkeeper Emmie Allen serving as the 2026 NWSL Nation of Lifesavers Ambassador.
During the event, the group helped raise nearly $1,300 dedicated to CPR and AED education, supporting efforts to empower individuals to effectively respond in cardiac emergencies. This community involvement reflects Bay FC’s commitment to public health outreach beyond the soccer field.
