"We partnered with them [the Riverhounds] four years ago. We thought it was great that they bring a lot of expertise in soccer, and we know soccer is such a popular sport here in the Pittsburgh area, and we just thought it was a great fit for both of us to give back to the community," said Bohn.
The Riverhounds players put the kids through their paces.
"For us, it's a give back to the community, for them to enjoy the day," Bohn said.
