What "Orange & Blue Experiences" Support

"Orange & Blue Experiences" - including Served by the Pros, Ladies Lace Up (which will return this summer) and The Baileys - support the FC Cincinnati Foundation's mission to improve the lives of children through soccer.

To achieve these goals, the Foundation offers an ambitious and engaging slate of programming that includes in-school and after-school soccer programming, Learning Is Cool, the West End Pride Soccer Team and Mini Pitch builds in the Greater Cincinnati area.

The FC Cincinnati Foundation also provides grants to support community-building initiatives in Cincinnati's West End community and to not-for-profit organizations with aligned missions.

In 2019, the FC Cincinnati Foundation generated a $1 million financial impact in the Greater Cincinnati area and awarded $100,000 in grants to West End community organizations, all while making a direct impact on more than 33,000 Cincinnati-area children.
