Healthfirst Scores Westchester Soccer Club Sponsorship in Inaugural Season

April 24, 2025

As part of Healthfirst’s commitment to our local communities, the company is sponsoring the Westchester Soccer Club (WSC), the first professional soccer team in Westchester County. WSC launched in March 2025 as part of USL League One and was founded on a vision to unite and uplift the area through soccer. Healthfirst will support a wide range of initiatives to strengthen WSC’s engagement with the surrounding community, including local youth programs and wellness initiatives.

“At Healthfirst we meet our members where they are and we know that soccer is a passion that unites communities and bridges generations.” said Bill Abrams, Vice President of Brand & Marketing Communications at Healthfirst. “We look forward to connecting with WSC fans and continuing to support the Westchester community.”

"We are excited to welcome Healthfirst to the WSC family," said WSC Principal Owner Mitch Baruchowitz. "Healthfirst’s dedication to strengthening communities by enabling access to high-quality healthcare aligns perfectly with our focus on building local pride and healthier, more active lifestyles.”

Key Aspects of the Sponsorship:

  • Local Community Celebrations: Healthfirst will sponsor in-stadium theme nights to celebrate the local culture and promote health and wellness in the community.
  • Youth and Family Engagement: The collaboration includes opportunities for community-based youth-focused and family events that encourage healthy habits and physical activity.
  • Community Health Access: Healthfirst will host health and wellness stations at the Stadium at Memorial Field (Mount Vernon, N.Y.) to engage fans and families and will provide on-site educational resources at WSC home games and community events.
