At the beginning of the month, MLSsoccer.com asked you, the fans, to share your favorite soccer scarves (or scarf collection!) using #ScarvesUp, as part of Scarftember, a month-long celebration in support of Major League Soccer's childhood cancer awareness campaign, Kick Childhood Cancer.
And did you ever.
Supporters of all teams, stripes, ages and stories have joined in, sharing their takes on #ScarvesUp and helping raise funds in the fight against childhood cancer. For each original post using #ScarvesUp, MLS will donate $1 to Children's Oncology Group, the world's largest organization devoted exclusively to childhood and adolescent cancer research.
Here's a few of our favorites thus far -- and remember, there's still some Scarftember left, so you and your friends have time to join the fun with a post or two, or three, or 10...
