Thank you! Our MLS Cup watch party & fundraiser was a success!

Thank you for attending our MLS Cup Watch Party and Fundraiser!

On December 7th, 2024, we hosted our second annual MLS Cup Watch Party and Fundraiser at Mirella's Tavern in Wicker Park, Chicago. Thank you to everyone who attended! It was a great evening of community and celebration of our organization’s mission and coaches.  

We appreciate everyone’s support. The financial support was greatly appreciated as our 2025 programming goals exceed the immense growth we experienced in 2024. If you are still motivated to donate, additional donations can be made via the website (click here).  

As we look forward to our 2025 ambitions, we ask that you share our mission and work with friends, colleagues, and any others interested how we are using sport to educate and employ youths in some of Chicago’s historically under-resourced communities. 

As CJ stated, we are adding more communities and locations in 2025 as part of our goals to grow our neighborhood recreational program, now in Chatham, to more communities on Chicago’s south and west sides. Mentioning our organization to friends, neighbors, and colleagues will help us grow our program’s awareness and network. 

Thank you to Mirella’s Tavern that hosted the organization for this event, and to Soccer Without Borders whose partnership in 2024 has essential to our violence prevention and coach education. 

And thank you again for your enthusiasm and support in 2024!
