>In 2024, the soccer gods gave us a gift: by aligning the schedules of the Copa America and Euros tournaments, promoters were able to create events that ran simultaneously throughout both tournaments!
Our corporate heroes have done it again!! $62,000 in vital program funds were raised at Champions League 2024.
Soccer in the Streets (SITS) has an influential group of fifteen board members that help push the organization forward to impact youth in Atlanta. This year we added two more board members and we are excited for our supporters to learn more about them. Today we highlight Nyema Johnson. A mother, and teacher, Mrs. Johnson has been a SITS supporter for nine years in various capacities and her five children have participated and learned first hand from the program in the Southside.
A summer project turned into a life lesson as Clarkston youth players invested their time in a virtual financial literacy course over the summer. Financial Center Manager at Bank of America, Chiquita Jenkins, led the youth players through the extensive Better Money Habits® program. This course was especially important as soccer came to a standstill during the pandemic, these players were able to turn their focus on to other at-home activities.
