Help Make a Difference
The Atlanta Beat Foundation would like to ask for your participation in our “Donate Your Soccer Gear” program this summer and fall at your prospective locations. The mission of “Donate Your Soccer Gear” is to help kids in Africa by providing youth soccer clubs, schools, and villages with soccer uniforms and equipment. Furthermore, The Atlanta Beat Soccer Foundation strives to be advocates of community development by enriching the lives of youth through service, soccer, and education.
Our initiative targets the country of Niger, Africa. Niger was recently named a fourth world country. This arid country on the edge of the Sahara Desert has a daily fight against its landlocked position, poor education, lack of infrastructure, and no health care system. Despite this, the country of Niger has a love for soccer that is hard to match. The Atlanta Beat will personally be onsite to hand deliver any soccer equipment that we receive to the country of Niger, Africa.
With your help these wonderful children can have the same opportunities that we have here in the United States. This soccer drive is a nation wide effort with contributions from Women’s Professional Soccer, Major League Soccer, their fans, local soccer players and clubs. Your participation in this program would be greatly appreciated. For any additional questions or comments please call or email the contacts below.
