Wilmington’s Molly MacDonald Honored As “Soccer Scholar” By New England Revolution & Santander Bank

WILMINGTON, MA — As part of the Revolution & Santander Soccer Scholars program, which recognizes the outstanding academic and athletic achievements of New England students, Santander Bank honored Wilmington resident Molly MacDonald at Gillette Stadium as the New England Revolution took on New York City FC on October 15.

As one of the winning applicants, Brian MacDonald received four tickets to the match to honor his star student as part of the Santander Soccer Scholars program. Molly had the opportunity to take a pre-match photo on the field at Gillette Stadium and stand on the sidelines and cheer on the Revolution as they entered the field.

Thirty-five winners received a VIP match day experience, including four tickets to a designated New England Revolution home match, an on-field photo opportunity with a Revs player, and sideline access to cheer on the team as they take the field. One grand prize winner received a hometown visit from Revolution star players, as well as $500 towards his education, in addition to the VIP match day experience.

Santander Soccer Scholars winners are selected at random throughout the 2017 MLS season, with five scholars honored at designated regular-season home games.
