Monterey Bay F.C. is celebrating Back to School Night at Cardinale Stadium on Saturday, August 26 when Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC comes to Seaside. As the presenting sponsor of the match, MBFC is partnering with Montage Health Foundation and Ohana in their effort to support the development of mental fitness in children, adolescents, and families in Monterey County communities.

Join us for a fun night with a free reusable tote bag for the first 3,000 attendees, a fun halftime activity, and more that will help educate and inspire brighter futures for children and families. Support this winning team!

Mascots from local high schools, colleges, and universities in both Monterey and Santa Cruz counties will be in attendance to interact with fans from the time gates open until the match concludes, while also participating in the night’s halftime festivities.

If any local school, college, or university has a mascot and is interested in being well-represented at our Back to School Night match, please register your school’s mascot HERE and you will be contacted shortly to discuss the benefits for participation as part of our Community of Schools program. Monterey Bay F.C. is looking forward to seeing many mascots from around the 831 joining in on the fun of Back to School Night at Cardinale Stadium.
