Corner65 Sponsorship Drive
Since our founding in 2020, we’ve worked annually with fellow non-profit The Refugee Response and their Ohio City Farm program as a sponsor on our jerseys through a Community Fundraiser. The Ohio City Farm was our club’s inaugural sponsor in 2021 and continued their sponsorship into last year. As our club has grown, we have formed a strong programmatic collaboration with another important program at The Refugee Response: Corner65.
Corner65 provides extracurricular opportunities for newcomers on Cleveland’s Near West Side. Last year we began funding and organizing soccer programming for Cleveland’s newcomer soccer players from Corner65 and this year we plan to continue and expand on this programming by offering two youth teams, year-round.
Please consider a contribution to this year’s Community Fundraiser: The Corner65 Sponsorship Drive.
WHAT ARE YOU SUPPORTING?
Because the cost of operations for a club like ours grows every year as our program offerings expand, this Community Fundraiser will help cover the team fees and soccer tuition for all City of Ohio players in 2023. As a community soccer club, it is crucial to our mission that our club is free-to-play for our players. However, that doesn’t mean that we are exempt from the ever-growing cost of youth sports.
DID YOU KNOW?
The annual costs of youth sports can be a prohibitive factor for refugee families in Cleveland to participate in organized youth sports.
The cost of playing for our local soccer clubs can be almost $1,500 per player. With your support, our players play for free year-round.
As a non-profit with as little overhead as possible, the cost of one youth player to play for our club in 2023 is $150.
We are asking for support in this year’s Community Fundraiser, The Corner65 Sponsorship Drive, to allow Corner65 kids to play competitive soccer for free year round and to add Corner65 as a sponsor on our jerseys for all of our teams in 2023.
