Tampa Bay Sun Foundation | Gear Goals Holiday Drive

Every child deserves the opportunity to play soccer, build confidence and stay active. Unfortunately, the cost of equipment can prevent many children from participating.

The Tampa Bay Sun Foundation's Ready to Play Youth Kits remove that barrier by providing children with a complete set of soccer gear. Each kit includes the necessities every child needs to get started.

For just $35, you can give the gift of play.

Includes:

Soccer ball
Shin guards
Soccer socks
Reusable water bottle
Drawstring bag
Information sheet about upcoming free Energize The Bay Youth Clinics, hosted by the Tampa Bay Sun Foundation and powered by TECO.

Your Impact:

A $35 gift equips one child with basic gear needed to participate safely and confidently. By removing financial barriers, you help a younger player take their first step onto the field and experience teamwork, physical activity, and personal growth.

Two Ways To Give:

Donate Online: Supporters may make their donation virtually and purchase Ready To Play Kits. The Tampa Bay Sun Foundation will use your donation to purchase the gear for youth players.
