“This is more than a brunch — it’s our final gathering to celebrate the accomplishments of the 2026 USA Women’s National Team,” the event homepage states. “The event will feature USA players and coaching staff, offering a rare and meaningful opportunity to connect as they conclude their historic 10 internationals season.”

Since 2020, the XV Foundation has raised more than $580,000 for USA players.
