The Philadelphia Union announced on Apr. 27 that the auction for a unique pair of shoes worn by Frankie Westfield will close tonight at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time. The auction is the result of a collaboration between the Philadelphia Union, Leveling the Playing Field, and Meghan Burns from With an H Designs.
The shoes were created using donated materials collected through Subaru: Gear for Good initiative and other donation drives led by Leveling the Playing Field. Items that could not be redistributed have been repurposed into this one-of-a-kind piece of footwear.

All proceeds from the auction will benefit Leveling the Playing Field to support their work in expanding access and equity within youth sports and recreation programs in under-resourced communities.
