Join Benny’s Soccer Journey to Portugal ! ⚽

Hi Everyone,

Thank you so much for always showing up for Benny and being part of his incredible soccer journey. We’re excited to share that Benjamin has received a major opportunity — he’s been invited to play in Portugal! This is a dream come true and one we simply couldn’t pass up.

This will be Benny’s first time traveling outside the country. At just 10 years old, he’s already collected over 60 medals and plays as a striker for the Philadelphia Union Pre-Academy team. He’s been in love with soccer since he was 2 years old — it’s not just a hobby, it’s his passion. And thankfully, he’s amazing at it!

This two-week trip will allow Ben to showcase his incredible goal-hunting skills against top young talent in Europe. It’s a chance to grow, to compete, and maybe even to get noticed for future opportunities. We believe this experience will be a huge step in his journey toward one day playing professionally in both Europe and the U.S.

Getting to this point hasn’t been easy. We moved our entire family closer to Philly when Ben was just 8 years old, shifting careers to support his demanding schedule. The financial sacrifice has been immense, but the reward of watching our son chase his dreams makes it all worth it.

Now, we need your help. The cost of travel, accommodations, and tournament fees adds up quickly. Every donation — big or small — makes a difference. This is your chance to support a young athlete with big dreams and even bigger potential.

Please consider donating and sharing this message. Follow Benny on Instagram to keep up with his soccer journey — this is only the beginning of what we believe will be an amazing story.

We’re so grateful for your support, encouragement, and generosity.

With love and thanks,

The Gibson Family
