Collection
The Gift of Soccer founders collected and packed the gear from Northern Socceer Club in Santa Fe, NM and Rio Rapids Soccer Club in Albuquerque, NM. We sent along indestrucatble OneWorld Futbal balls as well.
Distribution
Armond Giannini and his son were traveling in that part of the world and graciously packed jerseys donated from Rio Rapids SC and Rio Northern SC organizations. This kind of outreach has a major impact and affects some many kids with the power and gift of play!
The equipment sorted at this event will:
-
Outfit community programs and schools that lack resources
-
Support coaches running safe, structured practices
-
Help us say “yes” to more requests from underserved communities
Each ball, pair of cleats, and jersey tells a story—and together, you’re helping us write the next chapter for kids who deserve a chance to play.
