UPDATE: Thank you for all the support! We crushed our goal, raising $80,179 for South Bronx and immigrant youth programs through the #POWEROF11! If you still would like to contribute, you can Donate on South Bronx United's Website.
11 days. Donations of $11 or greater. Raising $70,000 for South Bronx and immigrant youth!
Every dollar you donate will be MATCHED dollar for dollar!
11 student-athletes working together on the soccer field. 11 seats in the classroom. 11 mentors for at-risk youth. A team of youth from more than 11 different nationalities. This is the #POWEROF11.
Join South Bronx United for the first #POWEROF11, our biggest annual campaign ever! Starting on International Children’s Day on June 1 through June 11, hundreds of grassroots supporters will join SBU and our Team Captains for a movement to empower immigrant youth and families through soccer, education, mentoring, and more.
And, we have a matching gift challenge. Thanks to the generous support of the William E. Simon Foundation and a group of anonymous donors, every donation in the #POWEROF11 campaign will be matched, dollar-for-dollar, up to $35,000! If we meet our goal, this will mean $70,000 for SBU programs—but we must get there by June 11th!
SAVE THE DATE
Join SBU Team Captains and supporters for the #POWEROF11 Campaign Closing and USA Watch Party on Sunday, June 11, 7:30pm - 10:30pm at Dewey's Pub (135 W 30th Street New York, NY 10001)! We will be watching the USA Men's National Team face Mexico in World Cup Qualifying.
