GLOBAL IMPACT

kickforhope 2010

Our second annual tournament hosted 125 teams, a growth of 35 teams! We distributed $29,020 to fund projects through existing charities working in Africa and one in San Diego. Many thanks to all the teams that participated, and to our "10 in 2010" participants: FC Murrieta, PQ, SD United, and SURF. These clubs committed ten or more teams and funded their own projects through these charities.
