We’re auctioning off RSL’s signed Adidas X Parley eco-friendly jerseys the team wore on April 19th. These unique jerseys were made from technical yarns comprised of plastic waste collected on the beaches and transformed into high-performance sportswear. Each jersey was made with up to 20 plastic bottles.
Rio Tinto Stadium houses the 4th largest solar array of any professional sports stadium (largest in MLS) using 6,423 solar panels to offset 87% of the stadiums power needs.
To expand our impact on clean energy, the RSL Foundation and Kyle Beckerman have teamed up with Navajo Nation steward Mylo Fowler to bring solar power to 40 homes on the reservation. Mylo is an award winning photographer who highlights his homeland of the Navajo Reservation with incredible photographs and amazing service projects.

An estimated 18,000 homes on Navajo Nation lack access to electricity. The cost to provide clean renewable solar energy to each house is approximately $600.
100% of the money raised by you from this auction will go towards lighting homes that currently have no power. With your help, we can impact 40 families in Utah this fall when students return to school.
You will also have the ability to donate items directly to the reservation to provide power to these homes. You can purchase lights, batteries, and/or solar panels by clicking on the corresponding image on the auction’s home page.
The auction runs through July, 14th.
