Kicking Down Barriers: Chris Bennett’s Mission for Youth Soccer.
Hello! I’m Chris Bennett, a proud single father of three and a passionate advocate for children's access to sports. As someone who empathizes with parents facing the challenges of the pay-to-play system, I know firsthand how financial barriers can prevent talented kids from participating in organized soccer.
On December 15, 2024, I will be running the Tucson Marathon to raise funds for the One Kick at a Time Scholarship Fund. This incredible organization provides financial support to children in my community, ensuring that those who might otherwise be sidelined have the chance to play the sport they love.
My goal is to raise $2,000 of a larger $25,000 initiative, which will help cover registration fees, gear, and other costs for children who need assistance. Together, we can make a meaningful impact and help more kids experience the joy of soccer.
Join me in this important mission! Your support will help change lives, one kick at a time. Thank you for your generosity!
