• A youth-led nonprofit initiative using soccer as a tool to unite communities and create opportunities for children in need.

• Focused on collecting and distributing sports equipment, especially soccer gear, to underserved youth locally and internationally.

• We also organize community events that promote the love of soccer while raising awareness and encouraging donations for our mission.

• These events are designed to connect people emotionally to the game and help them understand the impact of their contributions.

• Our goal is not only to provide equipment, but to give children the feeling of joy, confidence, and dignity that comes from receiving proper soccer gear.

• We believe something as simple as a pair of cleats can feel like “gold” to a child who has never had them before.

• Our mission combines sports, service, and community engagement to create real, lasting impact.

• We are building a long-term, sustainable nonprofit model registered as a 501(c)(3) in the State of Florida.

• Proudly partnered with the Heatklif Castillo Foundation, founded by professional soccer player Heatklif Castillo, to strengthen outreach and impact.

About Us

• We are both students at Doral Academy Preparatory, currently preparing to enter our senior year.

• We came from Venezuela to Miami in 2017, which gave us a deep understanding of the challenges many immigrant families and children face today.

• We are currently nominated for the Miami Herald Silver Knight Award for our community service project. This recognition allows us to continue expanding our mission and impact.

• Beyond the nomination, our goal is to turn this project into a long-term initiative by establishing a registered nonprofit organization (501(c)(3)) under the State of Florida, allowing us to help children and families for many years to come.

• We are pursuing a Bachelor’s in Business Administration at the University of Florida, starting in the fall, where we plan to continue developing and scaling our initiative.
