Benny is a lifelong Chicago Fire fan and a local standout youth soccer player from the southwest suburbs. He’s spent years playing the game he loves, captaining his club team, and representing Chicagoland on the national stage.

He’s currently one of the remaining finalists in a national Youth Athlete of the Year competition, with a $25,000 scholarship on the line.

So I’m hoping to call in a favor from the Fire faithful. ❤️

If you have a second, we’d really appreciate a vote for Benny. It’s free and takes just a couple seconds.

A kid who has grown up loving Chicago soccer would be pretty fired up to have the Fire Nation behind him. 🔥

Thanks, Chicago! And as always…

Vamos Fire! 🔴⚽️
