Free Play for Kids provides free after-school sports programming for vulnerable and marginalized youth. Their mission is to provide kids with the opportunity to play in a safe, accessible, and inclusive environment at no cost to them or their families- because when kids are empowered through play, their families, their schools, and their communities are empowered as well. All funds raised through this raffle will support Edmonton kids to participate in the 2021-22 programs.
"We are so excited to be working with FC Edmonton! We have such a long history together of supporting each other, kids, families and growing soccer in this city and country! Good things happen when kids are free to play, and we are grateful FC believes this too." - Tim Adams, Free Play For Kids Executive Director
"FC Edmonton is very proud to be working in partnership with Free Play for Kids. As a sports organization, we know the tremendous positive impact that playing sports has on kids and their families and communities, both as youth and into adulthood. So, we want to play our part in helping provide as many kids as possible with the opportunity to participate in sports through this valuable program. We enthusiastically encourage all our fans and supporters to join us in the effort to raise as much money as possible for them through this campaign." - Eric Newendorp, FC Edmonton General Manager.
