Amazing stories and connections to share with you:
Jordan Baker's family from Dallas, TX donated 250 soccer balls to GET!GIVE!GO! after finding us on the internet. Their story is tragic: on January 19, 2013, Jordan, 23, was killed instantly in a car accident. He was a few units shy of graduating from University of North Texas with a degree in Business Entrepreneurship. He was an athletic, outgoing, charismatic guy with a mission to deliver soccer balls to needy children in Mexico. At his funeral, attendees were asked to bring a soccer ball to donate. They ended up with 250 soccer balls. Each of these balls we ship will be a tribute to Jordan and his family.
Check out our newest affiliate, SLO Soccer Company, located at 1349 Monterey, San Luis Obispo. They are accepting donation; we've coined it The "TOM'S Cleats" Project.
Westmont College students recently traveled throughout Mexico via their Potter's Clay program, donating our soccer items to many villages and orphanages along the way (see attached photos).
