CHARLOTTE — Charlotte FC is set to host the 2026 MLS All-Star Game next month, a first for the city.
Major League Soccer is honoring local heroes, including Janae Aiken, director of the Emerging Leaders Program at the Two-Six Project.
The Fayetteville-based organization, which mentors young people, received a $15,000 grant from the MLS All-Star Hometown Heroes program. The David and Nicole Tepper Foundation will match the RBC Wealth Management-presented grant.
Channel 9 sports director Phil Orban speaks with Aiken about the Two-Six Project’s mission.
