LouCity & Racing Foundation
Through the love, power and community of soccer, the LouCity & Racing Foundation will improve the lives of youth throughout the Commonwealth and our bi-state region. The LouCity & Racing Foundation is committed to ensuring soccer is accessible to all kids regardless of their financial capabilities. We have seen the impact when a child receives their first soccer ball, pair of cleats, or the opportunity to learn and compete. It means something. In 2022 the Foundation engaged thousands of kids, providing scholarships for camps and our youth academy, distributing free equipment, performing clinics for nonprofit partners and youth organizations, allotting more than 5,000 game tickets, developing and running programming at community centers this summer, and launching a West End Soccer League — to name a few initiatives. We are mobilizing our efforts and taking soccer into neighborhoods to not only provide soccer instruction but also teach life skills, healthy habits and nutrition. Whether it is a child who just wants to learn the game, a kid who wishes to participate in a soccer camp, or a young person who can perform at the level of a youth academy team, they all deserve the opportunity.
