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.

Since 2010, we’ve called Macombs Dam Park home. Macombs is the primary site for soccer practices, the Recreational Soccer Program, and community events, and it is one of the few accessible soccer fields in the South Bronx.

On April 15th, 2026, a fire tore through the bleachers and the storage unit at Macombs Park where our soccer equipment for all outdoor programs was held (youtube.com/watch?v=wURJTDgKLXg). Students, parents, coaches, mentors, volunteers, and staff rallied to ensure that soccer programming continued uninterrupted. We’re grateful for the outreach and support.

We still need your help as we work to replace equipment and secure a temporary storage facility.

By donating to SBU through this page, you will help us cover the costs incurred by the fire and keep our student-athletes on the field. The fundraising goal represents the cost of replacement for the equipment lost and installing temporary storage at the park. Every dollar counts!
