As members of Seattle University and firm believers that sport is a powerful vehicle for social change, we will promote awareness and generate funds for Street Soccer Seattle by providing opportunities for charitable giving and community well being in the greater Seattle area. We aim to generate a profit with the event and donate it to Street Soccer Seattle.

Street Soccer Soccer, in conjunction with Street Soccer USA, aims to assist the homeless and transform their lives through soccer. Every year Street Soccer USA holds a national tournament in New York City, where teams from all over the country come to compete. For many of the participants, it’s the only opportunity they’ve had to travel so it’s a very transformative experience. All the proceeds from the tournament will help Street Soccer Seattle send a team to the national tournament. Street Soccer Seattle has a 75 % Success rate of getting their homeless participants through the program and off the streets.
