Walk of Champions: A Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience
Dear GGS & OSL Family, Friends, and Donors,
On behalf of the Let Me Play Foundation, GGS, and OSL would like to introduce the first edition of “Walk of Champions: A Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience,” where 22 lucky children will have the opportunity to escort MLS players out of the tunnel for the match between Orlando City SC and Atlanta United FC.
EVENT DETAILS:
- MLS match: Orlando City SC vs Atlanta United FC
- Location: Inter & Co Stadium
- Date: 10/19/2024
- Time: Kickoff at 6:00 PM
At GGS and OSL, we see firsthand how sports can transform lives. For many of the kids in our programs, the soccer field is more than a place to play—it’s a place where they build confidence, form lifelong friendships, and learn the values of teamwork, discipline, and perseverance. We are committed to breaking down barriers so every child, regardless of their circumstances, can experience these benefits. The “Walk of Champions” fundraising event will help us provide continuous support for all our programs.
HOW YOUR SUPPORT WILL BE USED?
- Directly Fund Scholarships: Your contributions will go directly toward scholarships enabling low-income children to participate in our programs.
- Purchase Equipment and Gear: We will equip our athletes with the tools to train safely and effectively, ensuring that no child is left without the necessary resources.
- Upgrade and Maintain Fields: Contributions will help us provide safe and high-quality spaces for training and games, which is crucial for a positive sports experience.
- Educate Coaches: Funds will also support ongoing education for our coaching staff, helping them to deliver the best training and mentorship to our young athletes.
WALK OF CHAMPIONS: CONTEST DETAILS
Of the 22 available spots, six (6) will be hosted and selected by our fantastic sponsors and partners: VMG Construction Inc., Authentic Soccer, AJ Flooring, Harmony Dental, Boi Brasil, and SAI Academy.
