Donate to Revive Florida Youth Soccer Post-Hurricanes

Help Florida Youth Soccer Recover from Hurricanes Helene & Milton

Dear Friends, Families, and Soccer Supporters,

Florida needs your help! As the Executive Director of Florida Club Leagues (FCL), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, we are dedicated to supporting youth soccer. Right now, our member clubs have been deeply affected by the devastating impacts of Hurricanes Helene and Milton. Our soccer fields and equipment have suffered severe damage, and many of our players and their families are struggling to recover from the losses caused by these storms.

Our Mission: Empowering Youth Through Soccer

At FCL, we believe that soccer is more than just a game. It’s a vehicle for building character, leadership, teamwork, and discipline in young people. For years, we have provided a safe and nurturing environment for thousands of Florida’s youth, helping them stay active, healthy, and engaged.

But now, many of these kids are facing even bigger challenges. Not only have their homes and communities been devastated, but the soccer programs they rely on for stability and joy are in jeopardy. Some families are facing financial hardships and can no longer afford membership fees or equipment, while the clubs themselves need funding to rebuild damaged facilities.

The Impact of Hurricanes Helene & Milton

Hurricanes Helene and Milton struck Florida with unrelenting force, leaving behind destruction in our communities. Soccer fields are flooded, goals were destroyed, and entire clubs have been displaced. More importantly, many of our players' families have been impacted by the hurricanes—losing homes, jobs, and a sense of security.

Our immediate focus is on:

Providing financial assistance to clubs with families struggling with membership fees and equipment replacement.

Repairing and restoring fields and facilities that were damaged by the hurricanes.

Supporting community rebuilding efforts through soccer programs that offer a sense of normalcy and unity for affected youth.

How You Can Help

We are seeking to raise $50k to help our youth soccer clubs and their members recover from these disasters. Every donation will go directly toward:

No contribution is too small! Even $10 can help a child get back on the field, and $100 can provide an entire family with the support they need to keep their child in the game.

Join Us in Rebuilding Through Soccer

Your generosity will make a world of difference for these children and their families. Together, we can help our soccer community recover, rebuild, and continue to provide the joy and opportunities that youth soccer brings to Florida's children.

Thank you for standing with us during this difficult time. With your support, we can ensure that no child is left behind, and that soccer continues to be a source of hope and inspiration for all.

Donate Today and help us bring back the beautiful game for Florida’s youth.

Sincerely,

Lori Trautmann

Executive Director, Florida Club Leagues
