South Bronx United (SBU) is a nonprofit youth development organization with a mission of using soccer as a tool to uplift youth and families in the South Bronx. More than 1,900 young people, beginning at age two and all the way through young adults navigating college and careers, will have participated in programs this year in the classroom, on the soccer field and in the community.

Founded in 2009, the organization's programs have grown in scope combining academic enrichment, college prep, mentoring, leadership development, health and wellness programs and other youth and family services with soccer programs. The organization's core program, the SBU Academy, has a 100% high school graduation rate and 94% college matriculation rate. College-readiness rates of graduates are three-times the rate of their peers.

South Bronx United's impact is significant and its mission is very dear to me. Because of that, for my birthday this year I chose this organization and I hope you will consider making a donation to support by helping me reach my goal. I appreciate support in any amount! Together we can make a difference!

Thank you,
Pam
