Worthy Cause Countdown: Help These Young Soccer Players Buy Goals

Each day from Dec. 14 through Dec. 25, GOOD Sports will feature a worthy school athletic program in need of funding.

Head soccer coach Daniel Holbrook has a good problem at R.B. Stall High School in North Charleston, South Carolina: too many willing athletes.

Holbrook is currently training three soccer teams made up of 80 student-athletes on a small field. Despite the limited resources, he knows the value in exposing these kids to sports:

Three-quarters of the students at R.B. Stall come from low-income housing, and Holbrook has insufficient funding for his team. He turned to DonorsChoose.org to raise $612 — money that would enable him to purchase two portable soccer goals.

At the time this story was posted, the team was $287 short of their goal (pun not intended).

Please consider supporting this project or another school athletic program in need.

 

Editor’s note: Some projects listed on DonorsChoose.org have donations matched by Dick’s Sporting Goods, which is a non-editorial presenting partner of GOOD Sports.
