The New York Red Bulls have unveiled the commemorative match poster for the team’s Autism Awareness Night match against Sporting Kansas City on Saturday, April 9, at Red Bull Arena.
The poster was designed by students affected by Autism at the Valley Program in Demarest, New Jersey; including Marc de Grandpre's daughter, Julia.
A teacher at the Valley Program described the student’s experience creating the poster.
When asked about soccer, many of the students were able to re-tell personal experiences of their time on a soccer field. When the students were shown a short video montage of a Red Bulls soccer game, they immediately got caught up in the liveliness and the excitement!
Each student was then given their own creative workspace to explore, and produce their reactions on paper. They eagerly shared their ideas, emotions, and energy!
