Our programs continue to grow in scale, quality, and community impact. As participation increases and families return season after season, the Foundation is expanding its offerings to meet the full spectrum of youth and community needs.

The Summer 2025 season was a milestone moment for the CJ Brown Foundation as our programs expanded across multiple Chicago neighborhoods, deepened community partnerships, and welcomed more players and families than ever before. With a commitment to belonging, accountability, and pride, our summer programs created meaningful experiences for young athletes while strengthening the foundation of community-based soccer on Chicago’s South and West Sides.
