Lets Keep Samba Kicking ⚽️

Donation protected
For 30 years, Samba Soccer has been more than just an indoor soccer facility—it’s been the heartbeat of our community, a home for players of all ages, and a place where passion for the game thrives. Now, we need your help to keep this legacy alive. Jo, known to many as Jo Samba, has dedicated much of her life to the game of soccer. As an employee and lifelong advocate of indoor soccer, she now has an opportunity to purchase the Samba building on Golden Gate Terrace. This isn’t just about owning a building; it’s about preserving a beloved institution that has shaped countless lives.

Samba originally opened in 1995, and many who played as kids are now back playing as adults, with their children also joining in the fun. Samba has brought together families, fueled dreams, and built friendships and even love connections, with three marriages so far, that stretch far beyond the field. We can’t let this staple of our community slip away. With your support, Jo can ensure that Samba continues to provide a space for the community to play, learn, and grow in teamwork and joy for generations to come. Every donation, no matter the size, brings us closer to securing the future of Samba. The funds raised will help Jo secure a loan to purchase the property, ensuring that Samba remains a community hub.

Let’s rally together, just like we do on the field, and make Jo’s dream a reality! Together, we can keep the spirit of Samba and soccer alive. It’s in our DNA.
