Sammy Boris‘ Bar Mitzvah Project:
Giving Back for Youth Soccer
I started playing soccer at just 4 years old, and it has been a very important part of my life ever since. In addition to the physical benefits of sport, soccer teaches life lessons on and off the field.
Through soccer I have built strong friendships, learned about teamwork, hard-work and perseverance.
Many kids who would love to play soccer do not have the resources to get the basic equipment they need – cleats, bags, balls, and shin guards can quickly add up in costs. That is where The Gift of Soccer Foundation comes in!
I am collecting gently used soccer gear and monetary donations to help provide equipment to kids who might otherwise not be able to play.
How You Can Help:
- Donate gently used soccer items (cleats, balls, shin guards, uniforms, bags).
- Make a monetary donation to help purchase equipment of cover shipping costs.
Every dollar or used item makes a difference and helps another child experience the game, build friendships, confidence and benefits of belonging to a team.

Partnering with The Gift of Soccer is a meaningful Mitzvah project because it channels the simple act of giving into real, tangible change. By raising funds, collecting gently used cleats, jerseys, and balls, your community extends the life of loved equipment and opens doors for children who are eager to play but lack resources. This is a hands-on way to practice tikkun olam—inviting friends, and family to share what they have, reduce waste, and uplift others.
Most of all, it reminds us that generosity—whether a single ball or a full bag of gear—can spark joy, build confidence, and create a lasting ripple of kindness.
