Please help our Haiti Friends fund a new kindergarten.

On by admin Posted in PROJECTS, Thank You


Give for the Goal is still on a hiatus from soccer collections right now. The pandemic has hampered our operations greatly.

But we would like to share a note we just received from our Haiti friends. While we are not collecting soccer donations now, we would still like to help our partner Reunion Sportive d’Haiti. The need in Haiti is heartbreaking. Please consider a tax deductible gift to this worthy cause.

Dear Partner,

Our organization (www.rshaiti.org) is a safe charity to support, as we are trying to keep hundreds of poor children educated, healthy, fed, and safe. We are reaching out because you share our vision that every child deserves the best start in life. This includes a healthy birth, proper nutrition, and a quality early childhood education. What you do today will impact their future.  

Our goal is to raise $20,000 to buy educational materials (books, school supplies), hygiene kits, Christmas gifts, and food for the children in our new kindergarten.  Your donation will help us tip the balance of life in favor of these poor children. Their survival is at grave risk due to object poverty, adverse impacts of the recent earthquake and other natural disasters, political instability, and gang violence that has taken over Haiti. Our organization is deeply committed to these children’s well-being and is determined to make a difference by investing in their health and education to unlock their full potential. 

We thank you in advance for your generosity. Tax-deductible donations can be made safely on our website at www.rshaiti.org

Blessings,

Reunion Sportive d’Haiti, Inc.

Takoma Park, MD 20912

Smiles through Soccer

On by admin Posted in COVER, PROJECTS

A pair of cleats can mean the world to a child. A team uniform can represent a sense of belonging. There are many communities where children love soccer but don’t have the resources to play.  Your donated soccer items will have a second life after being matched with a child who can use them.

Give for the Goal is a volunteer network, founded by a youth soccer player to benefit the lives of other youth soccer players.

Please stay safe and healthy.

Evan Mouchard
Founder, Give for the Goal

After spending the better part of his life kicking around a soccer ball, Evan knows a thing or two about the fun and camaraderie of participating in a youth soccer program. Also, Evan has seen the rewards of working hard as a team. His teams have enjoyed many successes over the years including California State Cup Champs,  SCDSL League Champs in Tier 1 Division, CIF Champs and competing internationally at Gothia Cup in Gothenburg, Sweden.

As a student, Evan was pleased to bring Give for the Goal to California. While establishing the GFTG donation network, Evan was met with a warm and welcoming philanthropic soccer community. With the support of new alliances with businesses and local youth clubs, Evan grew the GFTG soccer donation network to share his love of soccer.

The pandemic put all GFTG operations on hold in 2020. In the meantime, Evan graduated from University of California, Santa Barbara in 2022 with a BS in Statistics and Data Science. Currently Evan is gainfully employed full-time as an Computer Engineer for the DoD – NAVAIR.

US Outreach: Project Baltimore

We are working to help youth in the US with Soccer Without Borders Baltimore.

Soccer Without Borders, Baltimore, runs youth development programs that equip newcomer refugee and immigrant youth. The program provides safe spaces where young people feel cared for, have a voice and can experience the joy of sport.

Refugees are one of the most vulnerable populations in the world, with nearly 30 million children displaced from their home countries. Many program participants have come to the US under difficult circumstances from countries such as Sudan, DRC, Syria, Eritrea, Afghanistan, Iraq, Cameroon, Honduras, Ecuador, and El Salvador and most recently Syria. Many children in this group are getting the opportunity to participate in organized soccer for the first time in their lives.

With Project Baltimore, Give for the Goal has provided jerseys, shorts, socks, goalie shirts, referee outfits, cones, and balls to children from these underserved communities. We are committed to keeping Project Baltimore open as an ongoing project.
