It's easy to talk the talk.
While many do that throughout the year by promising to do things, the holiday season is a time when one should follow through on their promises.
Gift No. 5 of Cornerkicks' 12 gifts - an actual $100 check to the IYSA Inner City Program - is another step in the continued commitment to help soccer at all levels in the city. Whether it's through checks or publicity, there are children and programs in our own backyard that could use some help.
It's easy to assume someone else is going to help, but why not be that person this year to actually follow through and give back.
From the IYSA:
This Holiday Season, Donate To Illinois Youth Soccer's Inner City Programs
For the past 13 years, Illinois Youth Soccer has contributed over $1 Million to soccer programs for at-risk children living in the most economically disadvantaged communities in Chicago. Through its partnership with the Chicago Housing Authority (CHA), the Chicago Park District, the Y and community centers, Illinois Youth Soccer has been able to bring soccer activities to inner city communities. Over 400 children ranging in ages 4-18 participate in the Illinois Youth Soccer Chicago Pride, Chicago Girls Soccer League and the Kiddie Kickers pre-school programs.
Shoes & Shinguards Needed!
New soccer shoes in children’s sizes 13 to 4.5, women’s sizes 5.5 to 10, and men’s sizes 5.5 to 12.
Shinguards – youth sizes 12
Passenger Van Needed!
Since the CHA van is no longer available to transport children to soccer activities, we need a new or used 12-passenger van or donations for the purchase of a van to transport the Chicago Pride kids to weekly soccer games, practices and events.
Please send/deliver your donations to the Illinois Youth Soccer office, 1655 S. Arlington Heights Road, Suite 201, Arlington Heights, IL 60005.If you have any questions, please call the Illinois Youth Soccer office at 847-290-1577.
