Community Engagement

Home / Social Project

The club is committed to creating positive impacts in our community and beyond, working to support social projects, nonprofit organizations, and schools. Below are some of the initiatives we proudly support:

Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign

Dedicated to funding cancer research and supporting young patients through the Tracy's Kids Art Therapy Program, our campaign saw tremendous success, with local businesses joining in as sponsors. Together, we raised and donated $5,000 to Tracy’s Kids, enhancing the lives of children and their families undergoing cancer treatment.

English Language Scholarship in Brazil

Through our First Touch Soccer Program, we established a $5,000 scholarship for immersive English language studies at Escola Técnica de Eletrônica "Francisco Moreira da Costa" in Santa Rita do Sapucaí, Minas Gerais. The scholarships are awarded based on merit and financial need, with recipients chosen by a committee of school leaders. This program empowers young Brazilians with English language skills, opening doors to future global opportunities.

Support for Escola Rural Rodolfina Zordan

While visiting Brazil, the club donated soccer equipment and uniforms to approximately 50 children from Escola Rural Rodolfina Zordan, a rural school in the region. This donation equips young players with resources to enjoy and benefit from the game, encouraging active lifestyles and team spirit in their community.

Garotos Da Vila Partnership

Supporting the social project Garotos Da Vila, which serves 420 children in an underserved community in Santa Rita do Sapucaí, Brazil, District Elite FC—represented by João Brusamolin—donated essential soccer equipment including balls and bags. This initiative helps provide resources for children to engage in sports, fostering development and positive community connections.

Support for Escola Municipal Francisco Silvério Filho

Along with creating meaningful interactions when visiting Brazil, we also donated soccer apparel and equipment, providing the school’s children with resources to further enjoy the sport and support their physical and social development.

Additional Contributions

Numerous other monetary contributions are made to both national and international organizations dedicated to education, animal welfare, and the support of physically and mentally challenged children and adults.

Each project represents our dedication to community building, aiming to leave a lasting impact on the lives of those we reach.
