NEWS RELEASE
COLLINGWOOD UNITED SOCCER CLUB
********************
Collingwood United Soccer Club (CUSC) is proud to join a growing list of Ontario youth soccer organizations supporting Soccer 4 Ukraine!
Soccer 4 Ukraine is a non-profit support group providing free soccer camps and club registrations for children aged 8 to 14 years who’ve recently come to Canada from war-torn Ukraine.
Soccer offers these young children welcomed relief from the harsh reality of having lived through an unprecedented crisis and finding themselves in a completely new country. The beautiful game can help build resilience to the trauma, lift spirits enormously, and aid in the adjustment to life in Canada. Best of all – it allows kids to be kids again!
Collingwood United Soccer Club is extremely pleased offer its support with a nearly week-long Soccer 4 Ukraine Boot/Equipment Drive – June 20 through June 23.
Club members are invited to donate any “gently used” soccer boots/cleats and shin guards to Soccer 4 Ukraine. The biggest need is for players aged 8 – 11.
Used equipment donations may be made at the CUSC Fisher Field storage area (near pitches F6/F7/F8). Let’s use the power of the beautiful game to make a difference!
Sincerest thanks to all for their support and show of solidarity with the people of Ukraine - most of all the children who’ve made the journey to Canada. Soccer 4 Ukraine also thanks you for your kindness, generosity, and support. \
