For the first time ever, Downtown United Soccer will be collaborating with
other soccer clubs to host this inaugural fundraising event, while
planning to expand the tournament to engage dozens'more supporter
clubs, representing teams from all over the globe.' The
tournament
will benefit City Soccer Initiative (CSI), Downtown United Soccer
Club's charity program; which provides inner-city kids the opportunity
to play soccer.'CSI serves 2000 children each week in NYC's'
under-served communities and public schools, using soccer to make a
positive impact on society.
'Several football supporters clubs based in NY:
MLS, NY Red Bulls, Liverpool F.C. and Real Madrid
have
collaborated'to organize this fundraising tournament to support CSI's
mission: To ensure that no child is denied the opportunity to play
soccer for financial reasons.'
We believe this event
demonstrates the power of soccer'to positively impact lives'beyond the
game; rival supporters united for a common cause, sharing their passion
for the game to'benefit children from disadvantaged backgrounds.
This initiative is symbolic of a larger plan to change the face of soccer in the US by developing the game in urban communities.
Donate today and help Downtown United Soccer change the face of Soccer for kids in Manhattan.
