What is "Kicks for Kids?"
The FC Dallas Foundation believes that by exposing youth to professional soccer and professional soccer players and coaches, kids will witness first hand the results of hard work, dedication, commitment and team effort, all of which are important skills needed to excel in every aspect of life.
- In partnership with local non-profit organizations benefiting inner-city, at-risk and disadvantaged children in the Dallas Fort Worth area, the FC Dallas Foundation organizes, sponsors and conducts various Kicks for Kids events throughout the year that bring together DFW area children with FC Dallas Players and coaches.
"Kicks for Kids" Special Events Include:
- Kicks for Kids Easter Egg Hunt
- Kicks for Kids Halloween Party
- Tickets to FC Dallas home matches
- Kicks for Kids Summer Party
- Kicks for Kids Holiday Party
At these events, the children are typically provided a meal, the opportunity to interact with and obtain autographs from and pictures with FC Dallas players, free games and entertainment, as well as special gifts from FC Dallas.
