Some of the organizations include Loudoun Soccer, the Northern Virginia Football Club, Brazilian Touch Soccer, the Washington Glory, a women’s professional fast-pitch softball team and Love Thy Neighbor -- a nonprofit founded by a former NFL player Troy Vincent that strives to build safer and healthier communities.
