Overview
The Gift of Soccer Foundation is proud to partner once again with SportQuest Ministries to support their outreach program in Ukraine. SportQuest’s Ukraine Coordinator, Andrii Petrenko, a former professional soccer player, felt called to work in sports ministry at the age of 18. Andrii is dedicated to transforming his hometown of Shoskta, Ukraine, by using sports to positively impact the youth and their families. He will personally transport and deliver the much-needed gear to the Shoskta region.
We were fortunate to connect with Heather Starr, who helped us receive soccer uniforms from a local school, Eldorado High School. This generous contribution has gone long way in supporting our mission and making a difference in the lives of young athletes in Ukraine. Thank you to Heather Starr and Eldorado High School, for their generous contributions and support.
