We’re so excited to announce that we’ve recently teamed up with Grassroot Soccer, a non-profit organization that uses the power of soccer to educate, inspire, and mobilize communities in Africa to stop the spread of HIV. Together we created INSPI(RED) SOCCER, a program that empowers hundreds of high schools, colleges/universities, and youth organizations to help fight AIDS in Africa by hosting 3 v 3 soccer tournaments. For every $2,500 raised through these student-driven INSPI(RED) SOCCER events, 100 youth will participate in a life-changing INSPI(RED) SOCCER event in Africa, to play soccer and gain access to prevention education, testing, and treatment.
INSPI(RED) SOCCER is sport with a purpose. It’s fun, energy, music, and films. It’s youth around the world helping to eliminate AIDS by fighting for an AIDS Free Generation, where every child is born HIV free and with a chance for a healthy future. It’s the global soccer community coming together to solve one of the world’s most pressing health crises. INSPI(RED) SOCCER is an effort organized by college and high school volunteers, soccer players, campus organizations, or students, who want to make a difference.
Interested in participating by playing or hosting your own soccer tournament? It's currently a US only inititive (we're working on expanding it!). Click here or email INSPIREDSOCCER@GrassrootSoccer.org

Thanks (RED) for this info. The Inspi(red) Soccer program looks like a GREAT way to get more people involved in supporting the fight against HIV/AIDS in Africa - and that's good!
Please keep us updated on its progress & on any other similar programs as they appear. Thanks for always being an innovative presence in our movement,(RED).
ALWAYS (RED) AT HEART, debbie:)
