By: Pass It Forward Pass It Forward was founded by two people -- a soccer professional and a teacher -- who were seeking a way to combine soccer and social consciousness. While you don't need much to play soccer, millions of children around the world do not have the means to participate in this. From disadvantaged kids in Africa who make their own soccer balls out of trash bags and twine, to sports clubs in the United States struggling to buy acceptable equipment, it is clear that there is a need to make soccer equipment more readily available. That's where Pass It Forward, with your help, seeks to make a difference. So, why soccer? Soccer is the world’s most popular sport, with followers around the globe who all share the same passion. All you need for a game is one ball, and anyone can participate. But soccer is more than a game; it extends far beyond training players to shoot, pass and defend. Soccer instills lifelong lessons of teamwork, leadership, concentration, endurance and good sportsmanship. It promotes cultural identity and pride, as many cities and countries around the world have local and national teams. Moreover, since soccer is a universal sport, many organizations around the world have started using soccer as a peace-building activity. It's also an excellent way to stay healthy and keep active. Pass It Forward firmly believes that every child deserves these benefits, and we are committed to giving each one an opportunity to do so. Our first planned donations are to children in Haiti and Passback, a program run by the US Soccer Foundation for children in under-resourced urban communities. Join our cause, spread the word and buy a ball. Be a game changer. End
