SeaLions Hosted Clinic with USD on March 28th
Monday Mar 15, 2010

On March 28th, 54 area youth soccer players sharpened their shooting skills under the direction of USD's women's coach, Ada Greenwood and the San Diego SeaLions. 

The success of this soccer clinic reaches far beyond goals scored on the field because every child that attended has a direct impact on the life of a child in Africa.  One $25 clinic fee can provide clean drinking water to 5 children for 5 years, or help save 5 children from deadly mosquito bites, or give a teenager the education needed to live HIV free. And together, the impact is even greater. Through Kick for Hope's partners, Charity:water and Malaria No More, $1,350 can supply 270 children with clean drinking water for 5 years, or prevent malaria deaths by providing mosquito nets to 135 children and their mothers. Through K4H's partners Kick 4 Life and Grassroot Soccer, $1,350 can educate 52 children about AIDS prevention, and even provide them and their families with AIDS testing as well as medical care if needed.  

In addition to raising aid, the clinic was also designed to raise awareness among our youth about global poverty and disease and give players a sense of fulfillment that only comes from helping those in need.  Many thanks to all who attended and contributed to make this event a success.
