Our story

In 2012, our family had the opportunity to travel to Tanzania. From that experience, this project was born. The goal is to bring soccer balls to places that have had an impact on me. Our hope is that the soccer balls and donated jerseys will be valuable tools for uniting people. Soccer is a healthy outlet for kids to be themselves, it’s universally loved, and it has the unique ability to bring people together. Help us spread joy to children in these places -- and more -- by funding soccer balls, jerseys, and other soccer equipment. Thank you for considering partnering with us to better the lives of hundreds of children around the world.

​​​​We are thrilled to provide an update on our progress! In the seven years since we started 1Ball1Goal, we have donated over 650 soccer and hundreds lightly used jerseys in 20 different locations, both at home and across the world. Our numerous drops have included both soccer balls and gently used soccer gear, including soccer cleats, shirt, jerseys and shin guards! It has been extremely rewarding to see the kids so excited to receive their new gear and we have learned so much about the world along the way. Thank you to everyone that has made this project possible up to this point. We are grateful for honor and your trust in trying to make a tiny difference in each and every child with whom we have had the privilege to play soccer with along the way!
