Become an Event Partner

Fund wellness-driven soccer events that bring families together and help students return to class ready to learn.

What’s an Event Partner?

An Event Partner contributes $2,500 to bring two experiences to a school or community site: a Kickoff during school hours and a Family Wellness Event after school. Together they introduce anchored goals, simple Play and Pause activities, and family resources so students get active, connect, and return to class calmer and more focused.

Partners are highlighted at events, on our website, and across communications as visible champions for play and wellness.

What Your Sponsorship Funds

Event Coordination

Event scheduling and planning with the school or site, field setup, and on-site staffing and coaching support.

Two Anchored Soccer Goals, Goal Cards, and an Equipment Kit

Each site will receive two anchored soccer goals (with sizes selected in collaboration with our nonprofit team), a set of laminated Goal Cards for teachers to lead Play & Pause activities, and an equipment kit that includes soccer balls, pinnies, and cones.

Family Wellness Event Components

After-school event that features stations such as mindfulness activities, nutrition tips, student and parent resource tables, and small-sided family play sessions led by our coaches.

How the Two Events Run

  1. Kickoff During School Hours
    • Held during the school day, right after goals are installed.
    • Teachers receive Goal Cards and a quick orientation on using them during PE or recess.
  2. Family Wellness Event After School
    • Open to families, siblings, and community members.
    • Small-sided games, wellness and resource stations, and a friendly community vibe.
    • Recognition moment for the Event Partner.
