We have supported several actions and initiatives by iACT over the years (read here), and we want to share with you an event they organize on September 29th, 2018. You can join their 3rd annual fundraiser when the LA Galaxy take on Vancouver Whitecaps in one of the last home games of the season. Every ticket purchased sponsors a refugee girl or boy for an entire year at a Refugees United Soccer Academy in Cameroon or Chad.

The organization is doing a fantastic job, they provide humanitarian action to aid, empower, and extend hope to those affected by mass atrocities. They use soccer as a conflict resolution tool, and in our News Digest from Sept.1, we mentioned the Darfur United Men’s Team. You can read on their website:

Our goal is to provide refugee children and adults a safe space to learn about teamwork, peacebuilding, and leadership while learning how to play soccer and improving their skills. To further encourage peace, we also incorporate refugees within the leadership of the soccer academies which provides them the opportunities to practice these learned skills and help them in future endeavors. Furthermore, it is part of RUSA’s mission to expand the refugees’ social network by connecting them with other youths and soccer professionals across the globe.

Tickets purchased with the iACT package include exclusive LA Galaxy/Refugees United scarf, pre-game shenanigans, and an entire year of soccer for one refugee girl or boy who plays at the Refugees United Soccer Academy.
