The Timbers scored six goals which powered them to a 2-0-1 run across the month while the Thorns tallied a whopping 15 goals in their 3-0-1 month for a total of $2,100 raised.

Additionally, sales from the special edition PTFC Authentics TikTok 4 Good Pride scarf as well as an auction of Timbers, game-worn adidas Pride pre-match tops raised the total to $22,780.
