Seventeen Bay FC women’s soccer players visited Sutter Health’s CPMC Van Ness Campus on Monday, September 28, 2026, to engage with hospital patients and staff as part of a community outreach initiative. The players divided into groups to visit patients on three floors, including pediatrics, labor and delivery, and postpartum/mom and baby units.
During their visit, the players interacted with patients and their families by taking photos, signing autographs, and distributing Bay FC-branded gifts such as Star Wars soccer balls and Hello Kitty blankets. The team also crafted paper cranes to provide thoughtful mementos for the patients.
This event demonstrated Bay FC’s commitment to using their platform and presence to uplift and support community members beyond the soccer field.
