Sponsor & Partner

Help us build the next field.

Sponsor schools, sponsor activations, sponsor our annual tournament — or contribute the goods and services that make every site possible.

Every Sponsor Gets a Vendor Table at our annual Kick for a Cause tournament — connect directly with Hampton Roads soccer families.

A small Hampton Roads nonprofit with a real, growing reach.

For the Players Foundation builds soccer fields at schools that don't have them. In two years, we've activated two sites, reached approximately 2,500 students, and delivered more than $30,000 in support to local schools and players — all funded by our community.

Sponsoring us isn't logo-on-a-website philanthropy. It's a real partnership with a small nonprofit where your name appears on the field, in the ceremony, in the press release, and in the kids' lives — for years.

Every sponsorship is tax-deductible. We're a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

A Note from the Founder

Don't see what you're looking for? Let's talk.

Every sponsorship at this Foundation starts with a conversation. If you have a specific school in mind, a unique partnership idea, or a budget outside our standard tiers, I'd love to find the right fit together.

We're a small, founder-led 501(c)(3) — which means you don't have to go through committees, layers, or marketing departments to make this real. You talk to me, we figure it out, kids end up with a field.

Christin Golich, Ed.D. Founder & Executive Director, For the Players™ Foundation
