Provide access to play for every deserving child.

We’re on a mission to give 30,000 children access to play.  You can join us. No matter how much you give, every cent funds our efforts for deserving children across the Bay Area.

PURPOSE-DRIVEN work

Soccer may be the world’s game, but here in the United States, the inequality that keeps these children on the sidelines is deafening.

We refuse to stay silent. Our mission is to change this. Every child deserves the right to play, to belong, and to feel the power of the game. Yet, for nearly 7 in 10 kids in underserved communities, this is just a dream. They don’t get the chance to feel the rush of the game, the comfort of a team, or the support of a cheering crowd. 

Join us in making this a reality. We bring together the power of people and purpose, combining funding with action to spark real change in communities through the beautiful game. By identifying, investing in, and inspiring the most effective nonprofits focused on youth soccer, we accelerate impact where it’s needed most. Our partnerships with experienced, local organizations build sustainable, community-driven soccer projects across the U.S. – and soon, the world.

The Gift of Play: Help Every Child Join the Game

Want to help more kids get on the field? You can do anything to raise money for children’s access to sports, and we mean anything. From lemonade stands to themed parties, from pop-up ukulele concerts to virtual game nights, fundraisers have come up with some truly creative ways to make a difference. And the best part? Every single dollar you raise goes straight to funding soccer projects that will change the future for deserving kids.

Whether you start your own fundraiser or join an existing campaign, you become a part of something bigger – a movement to give every child the chance to play, belong, and grow.

We believe soccer is more than a sport: it’s a pathway to opportunity.

We don’t just see empty fields; we see the possibility for connection, for friendships, for self-discovery. And we’re determined to turn those possibilities into reality, one child, one team, and one field at a time. Here’s how you can make an impact: 

Become A Part of Our Team

When you join our team, you’re not just giving – you’re fueling a movement. Our soccer projects are led by local communities and owned by those who know them best. Your donations go directly to the field, where they create immediate impact. 

Our partners use those resources to provide access to the game, inspire confidence in children, and build inclusive communities, all while fostering a healthier environment for future generations.

100% of your donation funds access to play.

BE A PLAYER SPONSOR

Sponsoring a player is more than just providing financial support. When you sponsor a player, you help them enroll in our year-round program, providing them with the training, tools, and confidence to not only succeed in soccer but in education and employment. 

BE A BRAND SPONSOR

Our Brand Partners are stepping up to change the story. They aren’t content to wait for the world to catch up or for someone else to fix the problem – they’re taking action. These partnerships are more than just logos and sponsorships; they are lifelines for children .
