My Project

We’re on a mission to give our girls soccer team the best chance to kick their way to success, and we need your help! Our young athletes are full of passion, determination, and team spirit, but there’s one thing standing in the way of them reaching their full potential: gear.

Your support can make a life-changing difference!

By donating to our project, you’ll be directly supporting the future of these amazing young athletes. Your generous contribution will provide them with the high-quality gear, including cleats, shin guards, and soccer balls, that they need to compete confidently and, most importantly, have fun! Whether it's new cleats that give them the confidence to sprint down the field or durable shin guards that keep them safe while they play, your donation will go a long way in helping them succeed.

This isn’t just about soccer. It’s about building leadership skills, confidence, and lifelong friendships. Our girls are learning what it means to work together, push their limits, and play with heart. But they need the right equipment to get there!

Help us reach our goal and make this season one to remember. When you support our project, you're not just donating to a soccer team — you're investing in our girls' futures. Let’s "Kick It Forward" and show these athletes that with a little help from our community, they can score big!
