In celebration of Earth Month, AEGâs LA Galaxy Foundation joined forces with Freeway Insurance and Garden School Foundation to replant and expand the gardens at Annalee Avenue Elementary School in Carson, CA, as part of the MLS (Major League Soccer) WORKS Greener Goals Week of Service, which ran from April 14 â 22, 2025.On April 22, 2025, LA Galaxyâs players JT Marcinkowski and Tucker Lepley, along with the clubâs mascot Cozmo, employee volunteers from its front office, employees from AEG, and LA Galaxy fans, came together to plant and refurbish the schoolâs garden. Together, they constructed new ADA-compliant garden beds, removed weeds, mulched, laid down fresh soil, and planted a variety of fruits, vegetables, and flowersâtransforming the outdoor space into a more accessible and educational garden for students. The produce harvested from Annalee Elementary Schoolâs raised beds will be used in healthy cooking classes put on by Garden School Foundation. Additionally, several times a year, community members are invited to come out to also reap the bounty of a harvest.âThe LA Galaxy is dedicated to fostering a sense of community and environmental responsibility,â said Felicia Hano, Community Relations Coordinator, LA Galaxy Foundation. âBy working alongside our partners and volunteers to enhance the gardens at Annalee Elementary, weâre giving students a lasting space to learn about sustainability and the importance of protecting our planet.âThe garden build project was developed by the Garden School Foundation, an organization committed to providing in-depth garden-based education to youth at Title I schools across Los Angeles.
