Sophia Sedransk’s Bat Mitzvah Project:
Sharing the Game I Love
Soccer has always been a huge part of my life. I started playing when I was four years old, and it quickly became my favorite activity. Over the years, the game has taught me teamwork, discipline, confidence, and how to have fun while working toward a goal. Some of my best memories and friendships have come from being on the field, and soccer has helped shape who I am today.
For my Bat Mitzvah project, I am collecting new or gently used soccer gear, as well as donations to help purchase uniforms and equipment for kids who are less fortunate because soccer has given me so much, I want to help make sure other children have the same chance to play and fall in love with the game. My goal is to provide kids with the gear they need so they can experience the joy, teamwork, and opportunities that soccer brings..
How You Can Help
- Donate gently used soccer items (cleats, balls, shin guards, uniforms, socks, or bags).
- Make a monetary donation to help purchase equipment or cover shipping costs.
Every item or dollar makes a difference — and helps another child feel the same sense of teamwork, confidence, and belonging that soccer has given me.
Thank you for helping me make a positive impact and share the love of the game!

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.
