Giving back is essential. It’s who we are as a foundation. Sow means planting seeds; thanking those who led us by paving the way for those who follow us. We show our gratitude by paying it forward. We have several charitable efforts to impact players, teams, and communities. The more we give, the more we can grow. Join us by donating finances, time, equipment or by sharing our mission.

Congratulations to our two winners!

2024 Updates!

MAYhem + More

2024 has yielded some amazing opportunities for us and one to remember. This year’s scholarship race had TWO winners as we introduced a new middle school age division. We held our first ever FREE clinic series every Wednesday is May (lovingly titled MAYhem) which reached 92 boys and girls from kindergarten through the 8th grade. We even had the pleasure of officiating and collecting donations from the Masters’ site held at William & Mary for their upcoming 2024 World Cup. As always, we have continued shipping gear (hey Connecticut and Hawaii) and took a little trip to Charlotte to meet up with the national team and bless a few players by spending the day with them before their Olympic trip. All of these efforts have been made possible by your gifts. Keep growing the game- make a monetary donation, up-cycle gear, donate time, or simply share our events with others. Anyone can get involved and everyone should. See you on the field!
