Tartan Army Brings Scottish Spirit and
$10,000 Gift to Hasbro Children’s

On June 18, more than 100 members of Scotland’s renowned Tartan Army descended on Hasbro Children’s Balise Healing Garden to present a $10,000 donation to support pediatric cancer. The gift was raised as part of their charitable efforts surrounding their stay in Providence during this summer's global soccer tournament. It is the most money the Tartan Army has donated yet. All told, the group has made gifts during 112 trips to cheer on their football team around the globe.
