The U.S. <strong>Soccer</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> is reaching more players than<br />

ever before, thanks to the assistance of our partners who are<br />

supporting soccer’s growth in the United States.<br />

We are pleased to be part of this “team” and our 2007 <strong>Annual</strong><br />

Report is designed to showcase the integrated effort that enhances<br />

our activities across the fi eld. We hope that the story of our team<br />

and its players will inspire you to continue supporting the game<br />

through the <strong>Foundation</strong>, the Major Charitable Arm of <strong>Soccer</strong> in<br />

the U.S.<br />

A successful team needs strong players at every position. Like<br />

many teams, we build from the back, with our Board of Directors<br />

in goal, providing leadership and protecting us from problems<br />

that develop in the run of play. Our defenders, the cornerstone<br />

of everything we do, include the U.S. <strong>Soccer</strong> Federation and its<br />

affi liates, the companies in our Partners Resource Center, our<br />

champions in the media and our Government Relations activities.<br />

Just as on the fi eld, our midfi elders generate support for our<br />

activities and help us push forward. Major League <strong>Soccer</strong> (MLS)<br />

and its teams are critical members of our Passback network, the<br />

new Urban <strong>Soccer</strong> Collaborative is helping us and its members<br />

share experiences and information about how best to expand the<br />

game in economically disadvantaged urban areas and our <strong>Soccer</strong><br />

Funders Network promises to provide similar rewards to<br />

its members.<br />

The whole purpose of the game is to score goals and show<br />

results on the fi eld. That’s where our strikers come in. Our program<br />

grants, fi eld building activities and Passback have increased the<br />

opportunities for young people to play soccer across the country.<br />

As on any team, strikers depend not only on the players on the<br />

you, our donors and supporters. The resources you provide<br />

go directly — and entirely — into our goal scoring activities,<br />

since all overhead costs are covered by our endowment.<br />

We appreciate your generosity this year, as it will help us<br />

continue to grow our fan support.<br />

<strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Grants</strong> <strong>Program</strong> /<strong>Striker</strong><br />

<strong>Soccer</strong> is known worldwide as The Beautiful Game,<br />

thanks to its fluid movement and constant action.<br />

As the <strong>Foundation</strong>’s activities demonstrate, the game’s<br />

beauty extends beyond the field. <strong>Program</strong>s, supported<br />

by the <strong>Foundation</strong>, teach children life lessons about the<br />

value of exercise, teamwork, community and leadership<br />

along with the joys of the game.<br />

<strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Grants</strong> <strong>Program</strong><br />

Developing Players, Coaches and Referees<br />

The <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Grants</strong> <strong>Program</strong> has provided support to 439<br />

groups in every state of the country, as part of the $45 million the<br />

<strong>Foundation</strong> has invested in the growth of soccer.<br />

Last year, the <strong>Foundation</strong> focused on providing grants to<br />

programs that develop players, coaches and referees in economically<br />

disadvantaged urban areas with populations of 100,000 or<br />

more. The 30 program grants awarded in 2007 impacted 25 urban<br />

communities in 17 states and the District of Columbia.<br />

These grants address a broad spectrum of needs as illustrated<br />

by the following three grants.<br />

The Ebony City <strong>Soccer</strong> Club (ECSC), located in Charleston,<br />

South Carolina, is using the <strong>Foundation</strong>’s grant to launch an<br />

“in-house” youth development league in four sites throughout the<br />

city. ECSC is the only organization offering youth soccer to these<br />

inner-city children and hopes that this organized sports program,<br />

I was told we’d<br />

never be able<br />

to get kids in<br />

the city to play<br />

soccer. That’s<br />

just incorrect.<br />

If you provide<br />

the opportunity<br />

for kids to play,<br />

they’re going<br />

to play.<br />

— Tim Richey, <strong>Program</strong><br />

Director, Think Detroit<br />

PAL inner-city sports<br />

leagues. Think Detroit PAL<br />

will use a 2007 Mooch<br />

Myernick Memorial<br />

Fund grant to run a<br />

youth soccer clinic in<br />

Brightmoor’s Optimist<br />

Stout Park.<br />

coupled with academic support, will prevent school dropouts and<br />

delinquency.<br />

The Southern California Youth <strong>Soccer</strong> Organization’s Interliga<br />

Select <strong>Program</strong> will take place in some of the most economically<br />

depressed urban areas of Southern California, including Compton,<br />

South Central Los Angeles, Norwalk, San Bernardino, the San<br />

Fernando Valley and Orange County. These areas are home to<br />

Our <strong>Grants</strong> <strong>Program</strong>s have supported over 450,000 players and 3,000 fields,<br />

with an increasing focus on economically disadvantaged urban areas.<br />

INNER CITY SOCCER (FORT WAYNE, IND.)


approximately 65 independent Hispanic leagues, involving more<br />

than 60,000 youth players, all of whom operate outside the sphere<br />

of the U.S. <strong>Soccer</strong> Federation. With the implementation of the<br />

Interliga Select <strong>Program</strong>, the stage is set to identify talented youth<br />

and prepare them to compete at a higher level with increased<br />

opportunities for success.<br />

The Bay Area Outreach and Recreation <strong>Program</strong> (BORP) is<br />

focused on bringing the game of soccer to individuals who would<br />

not otherwise have access to the sport because of their disabilities.<br />

The <strong>Foundation</strong>’s award will be used by BORP to help develop<br />

a national team of elite athletes to compete internationally; to<br />

increase local, national and international awareness of the sport;<br />

and to be a leader in providing equal access for everyone to soccer,<br />

a sport that continues to unify the world.<br />

<strong>Soccer</strong> United Recovery Fund<br />

Two years removed from the devastating effects of Hurricanes<br />

Katrina, Rita and Wilma, the <strong>Soccer</strong> United Recovery Fund continued<br />

to provide important funding and resources to help rebuild the<br />

game across the Gulf Coast region. The <strong>Foundation</strong> established the<br />

Recovery Fund in September 2005, in partnership with Eurosport<br />

and other national and regional soccer partners, as a response to<br />

the immense challenges facing the game throughout the region.<br />

To date, nearly $600,000 in direct grant support and donated<br />

equipment has been provided to over 30 local communities from<br />

south Texas to Florida, including three fi eld projects in Louisiana.<br />

Thanks to the generous support of more than 1,000 soccer<br />

enthusiasts and dozens of generous companies, the Recovery Fund<br />

has touched 14,000 players, coaches and referees across the Gulf<br />

Coast region.<br />

Passback <strong>Program</strong>/<strong>Striker</strong><br />

Passback<br />

Share the Equipment. Share the Game!<br />

Without the proper equipment you can’t get into the game.<br />

The Passback <strong>Program</strong> is designed to help meet the soccer uniform<br />

and equipment needs of all communities, regardless of income,<br />

gender or location by collecting and distributing new and gently<br />

used equipment. The grassroots initiative is a joint effort among the<br />

U.S. <strong>Soccer</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong>, Eurosport and Major League <strong>Soccer</strong> (MLS).<br />

This summer the <strong>Foundation</strong>, along with presenting sponsor<br />

Western Union, organized a series of soccer skills clinics for urban<br />

Hispanic youth across the country. The 2007 Passback Tour<br />

reached approximately 1,000 children in eight cities — Chicago,<br />

Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New Orleans, New York<br />

and Washington, D.C. The clinics were run by professional<br />

players, including several MLS stars, and local youth coaches.<br />

Each participant received a new soccer ball (donated by SCORE<br />

American <strong>Soccer</strong> Company) and a jersey (donated by Jerzees). The<br />

<strong>Foundation</strong>’s long-time partner, Eurosport, provided logistical<br />

support and raffl ed off prizes at many of the clinics. The 2007 Tour<br />

was a fantastic success — look for the 2008 Tour coming to a city<br />

near you! Visit passback.org to learn more.<br />

Individual “Passback Stars” continued to organize collection<br />

events in their local community. The <strong>Foundation</strong> encourages<br />

boys and girls to become Stars by collecting a minimum of<br />

250 pieces of soccer equipment for children in need in their<br />

community. Eighteen-year-old Tanner King, of Houston, Texas,<br />

had a particularly strong impact on his community. King, one of<br />

81 young people across the country to become a Passback Star this<br />

year collected 2,118 pieces of equipment for distribution to local<br />

children as part of an Eagle Scout project.<br />

Throughout the 2007 season, MLS teams collected fandonated<br />

new or gently used soccer gear as part of the U.S. <strong>Soccer</strong><br />

<strong>Foundation</strong>’s MLS Passback Challenge. MLS teams appointed a<br />

Passback Spokesperson to represent the team at Passback collection<br />

and donation events, as well as to encourage fans’ participation.<br />

Field <strong>Grants</strong><br />

Building <strong>Soccer</strong> … One Field at a Time.<br />

Many U.S. cities lack suitable places for sports and<br />

recreation. Field <strong>Grants</strong> from the <strong>Foundation</strong> help provide<br />

young people, especially inner city children, with more places<br />

and opportunities to play The Beautiful Game.<br />

The <strong>Foundation</strong> awards three types of grants supporting<br />

the construction and improvement of soccer fi elds. All<br />

Conditions Fields (ACF) <strong>Grants</strong>, awarded through the<br />

<strong>Foundation</strong>’s partnership with NikeGO, support the<br />

development of synthetic grass fi elds. Field Enhancement<br />

<strong>Grants</strong> improve fi elds by adding new goals, irrigation and/or<br />

lighting. Planning <strong>Grants</strong> provide funding assistance to develop<br />

a master plan for proposed fi eld projects through the support<br />

of <strong>Foundation</strong> partner Clough Harbour Sports.<br />

In addition, the <strong>Foundation</strong> published The <strong>Soccer</strong> Field<br />

Handbook in 2007, with the assistance of <strong>Soccer</strong> America.<br />

The Handbook is a comprehensive resource on all things<br />

related to the development of soccer fi elds in your community,<br />

from getting local political approval to deciding whether to use<br />

synthetic or natural grass.<br />

<strong>Striker</strong>/Field <strong>Grants</strong><br />

This year, the <strong>Foundation</strong> awarded field grants to 26<br />

organizations to help provide more places to play the game<br />

of soccer.<br />

In 2007, the <strong>Foundation</strong> and its Partners joined several<br />

Grantees in celebrating the grand opening of new All<br />

Conditions Fields.<br />

The <strong>Foundation</strong> and Nike celebrated the opening of a worldclass<br />

FieldTurf mini soccer field at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater<br />

Washington — Robert V. Murray Clubhouse #11 (see cover photo)<br />

in southeast Washington, D.C. The new field is a significant<br />

improvement over the often-flooded parking lot it replaced. <strong>Soccer</strong><br />

star Freddy Adu joined the dedication festivities and led a soccer<br />

clinic for local children to inaugurate the facility.<br />

The City of Sacramento debuted its first synthetic soccer field<br />

with a festival including a 6-on-6 tournament, soccer clinics and a<br />

game among semi-professional players. Located in East Sacramento<br />

as part of the new Granite Regional Park Complex, the FieldTurf<br />

field provides new opportunities for children and adults to play the<br />

Beautiful Game on a state-of-the-art, all-weather field.<br />

An ACF Grant supported the development of a new FieldTurf<br />

training field at the University of Portland’s Clive Charles <strong>Soccer</strong><br />

Complex. The complex honors the legacy of the late Charles, who<br />

coached the University of Portland Men’s and Women’s squads<br />

until 2002. The field is a resource for the University teams and<br />

serves youth soccer programs in the Portland community.<br />

Major League <strong>Soccer</strong><br />

Playing with the Pros<br />

The <strong>Foundation</strong> has been a major partner of MLS for more than<br />

a decade. The <strong>Foundation</strong> and the League have a shared history,<br />

tracing back to the 1994 FIFA Men’s World Cup, and a common<br />

vision for the future, growing the game of soccer in the United<br />

States. MLS W.O.R.K.S. (the charitable arm of MLS), the League<br />

and its players are instrumental in supporting the <strong>Foundation</strong>’s<br />

efforts.<br />

The <strong>Foundation</strong> is an MLS Charity of Choice and the recipient<br />

of all player fines at the end of each season. All of these funds<br />

go into the annual grants pool. The MLS Players’ Award grants<br />

are provided annually in recognition of this contribution. The<br />

recipients are selected by the <strong>Foundation</strong>, in partnership with the<br />

MLS Players Union and those Union members chosen by their<br />

teams as “U.S. <strong>Soccer</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> Humanitarians of the Year.”<br />

In 2007, the National Sports Center for the Disabled in Denver,<br />

the United Neighborhood Organization in Chicago and the<br />

Southern California Youth <strong>Soccer</strong> Organization in Los Angeles were<br />

designated as “MLS Players Award Grantees.” The grants provided<br />

equipment for thousands of players, coaches and referees touched<br />

by these organizations.<br />

The <strong>Foundation</strong> further strengthened its partnership with<br />

the League’s players through a grant to the MLS Players Union.<br />

Midfielder/Major League <strong>Soccer</strong><br />

Kids are our<br />

future, and if you<br />

give them a chance<br />

to go and enjoy<br />

themselves, you’ll<br />

find some of the<br />

greatest players in<br />

the world. Some of<br />

the kids with the<br />

most ability will<br />

come out of places<br />

like Harlem where<br />

they haven’t got the<br />

money. It’s because<br />

the kids are hungry.<br />

They’re hungry to<br />

win and get a<br />

better life.<br />

This three-year award will help offset expenses associated with<br />

launching the Union’s new Career Development <strong>Program</strong>,<br />

designed to help prepare MLS players for life after their playing<br />

career. One aspect of the program is to match players with<br />

coaching opportunities across the country.<br />

MLS also promotes the <strong>Foundation</strong>’s signature Passback<br />

<strong>Program</strong> through highly visible field boards at stadiums and public<br />

service announcements airing during televised games. A Passback<br />

Spokesperson, designated by each MLS team, helps increase<br />

awareness and encourages donations to the program.<br />

Connecting Through <strong>Soccer</strong><br />

The <strong>Foundation</strong> works to bring together diverse organizations<br />

supporting the growth of soccer.<br />

Urban <strong>Soccer</strong> Collaborative<br />

The Urban <strong>Soccer</strong> Collaborative extends the <strong>Foundation</strong>’s<br />

emphasis on economically disadvantaged urban areas beyond<br />

the awarding of individual grants. The <strong>Foundation</strong> organized<br />

the inaugural meeting of the Collaborative last year, laying the<br />

groundwork for networking and partnership opportunities among<br />

urban soccer programs nationwide. The Collaborative is open to<br />

any organization working to increase playing opportunities for<br />

inner-city children.<br />

This year, the <strong>Foundation</strong> launched the online home of the<br />

Urban <strong>Soccer</strong> Collaborative. Current members, or those interested<br />

growing demand for soccer programs, equipment and facilities.<br />

The <strong>Foundation</strong> spearheaded the establishment of the <strong>Soccer</strong><br />

Funders Network with the goal of connecting urban soccer<br />

organizations with soccer funders, and to provide a forum for<br />

members to share best practices and develop strategies for<br />

collaboration.<br />

The <strong>Soccer</strong> Funders Network, comprised of both public and<br />

private soccer charities, supports the growth of soccer, with a<br />

specific focus on serving children in economically disadvantaged<br />

rural and urban communities across the country.<br />

Through the <strong>Foundation</strong> website, the Funders Network<br />

provides an online resource for soccer clubs, teams and<br />

organizations seeking support. As the Network grows we hope it<br />

will encourage cooperation among soccer organizations to increase<br />

support for at-risk children, families and communities.<br />

It’s been said that, “defense wins championships” and<br />

that a strong team leads from the back. The <strong>Foundation</strong><br />

is very fortunate to have a strong and dependable<br />

backline of partners that support our efforts to expand<br />

the game to diverse communities across the country<br />

and around the world.<br />

Passion in Action<br />

The <strong>Foundation</strong>’s Washington, D.C., location affords unique<br />

access to federal decision makers and global representatives who<br />

have a passion for the game and the benefi ts that come from<br />

playing it. The <strong>Foundation</strong>, and the game as a whole, is fortunate<br />

to enjoy the continued cooperation of key public leaders.<br />

The <strong>Foundation</strong> recently completed a major grant project<br />

supported by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban<br />

Development enabling the construction of synthetic grass fi elds<br />

in central Los Angeles and Jacksonville, Florida, and the creation<br />

of soccer programs in the District of Columbia and rural eastern<br />

Kentucky. These four grants support soccer programs engaging<br />

more than 3,000 young people each year.<br />

Working with the U.S. <strong>Soccer</strong> Federation, the <strong>Foundation</strong><br />

provided the U.S. State Department’s Bureau of Educational<br />

and Cultural Affairs with technical assistance and equipment for<br />

soccer exchanges in Africa and Asia, such as hosting Awista Ayub,<br />

founder of the Afghan Youth Sports Exchange, and a delegation<br />

of pioneering Afghani women (See photo at right). During their<br />

American odyssey, the group enjoyed exposure to all levels of<br />

organized soccer — including attending a clinic hosted by the<br />

Washington Freedom women’s team, as well as D.C. United and<br />

U.S. Women’s National Team matches. The women received formal<br />

soccer coaching certifi cations before returning home to expand the<br />

opportunities for girls in Afghanistan.<br />

With the arrival of the 110th Congress in January, the<br />

<strong>Foundation</strong> and the new leadership of the Congressional <strong>Soccer</strong><br />

Caucus cheered the expansion of the Caucus’ membership to a<br />

record high of nearly 40 members. The bipartisan group supports<br />

legislation, activities and events that promote the game. Some<br />

important issues being advanced by the <strong>Soccer</strong> Caucus include:<br />

● Addressing the need for more safe places to play soccer;<br />

● Encouraging public-private partnerships that utilize soccer to<br />

provide at-risk youth with structured after-school activities;<br />

● Promoting soccer as a lifelong healthy physical activity; and<br />

● Supporting the preservation of Title IX.<br />

Media Outreach<br />

Attention <strong>Soccer</strong> Supporters!<br />

The <strong>Foundation</strong>’s media outreach has increased the visibility of<br />

our organization, our Grantees and our Partners. The added visibility<br />

attracts new donors, partners and organizations in need of the<br />

<strong>Foundation</strong>’s support.<br />

Fox <strong>Soccer</strong> Channel produced and aired the <strong>Foundation</strong>’s 2007<br />

Public Service Announcement and created a segment about the<br />

grand opening of the mini field in Washington, D.C. HDNet also<br />

aired the <strong>Foundation</strong>’s PSA during its MLS coverage.<br />

An official supporter of the Passback <strong>Program</strong>, Comcast<br />

SportsNet produced a 30-second segment featuring several D.C.<br />

United stars. The network aired the spot in the greater Washington,<br />

D.C., region during the 2007 MLS season to help D.C. United and<br />

the <strong>Foundation</strong> collect equipment during the club’s home soccer<br />

matches.<br />

The Inter-American Development Bank, the Council of the<br />

Americas, the <strong>Foundation</strong> and GolTV hosted a reception, auction<br />

and viewing party around Copa America 2007. The event raised<br />

awareness of soccer and furthered the <strong>Foundation</strong>’s efforts to bring<br />

soccer programs to at-risk Hispanic youth in the nation’s capital.<br />

Proceeds from the event benefited the Latin American Youth Center’s<br />

after-school soccer program for low-income Hispanic youth,<br />

ages 6–18, in Washington, D.C.<br />

The <strong>Foundation</strong>’s website — ussoccerfoundation.org — provides<br />

the general public with information about its mission, goals<br />

and accomplishments. The <strong>Foundation</strong>’s monthly electronic newsletter,<br />

Mobilizing <strong>Soccer</strong> Communities in the United States<br />

The United States soccer community includes a wide range<br />

of organizations and individuals working together to further<br />

the game. From grassroots community activism to top-fl ight<br />

international competitions, all organizations play their part.<br />

In 1994, the FIFA World Cup, the world’s most popular<br />

tournament, came to America. The U.S. <strong>Soccer</strong> Federation hosted<br />

and organized the festivities, netting a signifi cant surplus. To<br />

manage those funds, the Federation established the U.S. <strong>Soccer</strong><br />

<strong>Foundation</strong> in 1995. In the years that have followed the Federation<br />

and the <strong>Foundation</strong> have collaborated on a number of projects.<br />

Recently, the <strong>Foundation</strong> worked with the Federation to raise funds<br />

for the U.S. <strong>Soccer</strong> National Training Center at the Home Depot<br />

Center and for the Glenn “Mooch” Myernick Memorial Fund in<br />

support of urban soccer initiatives (see page 19).<br />

In 2007, the <strong>Foundation</strong> awarded a grant to the U.S. Adult<br />

<strong>Soccer</strong> Association to support the implementation of a national<br />

online registration system that will provide <strong>US</strong>ASA members with<br />

a centralized process to register players, track payments and<br />

communicate with teams and leagues. Once launched, the <strong>US</strong>ASA<br />

will be the fi rst national organization member of the U.S. <strong>Soccer</strong><br />

Federation with the ability to register players at the local level while<br />

simultaneously collecting player demographic information across<br />

the country.<br />

<strong>Soccer</strong> is the number one youth participation sport in within<br />

the United States and the <strong>Foundation</strong> enjoys a close working<br />

relationship with U.S. Youth <strong>Soccer</strong> (<strong>US</strong>YS), American Youth<br />

<strong>Soccer</strong> Organization and the <strong>Soccer</strong> Association for Youth . The<br />

organizations share similar beliefs about the benefi ts that soccer<br />

offers to youth and families in communities across the country. In<br />

September, the <strong>Foundation</strong> worked with <strong>US</strong>YS to promote Youth<br />

<strong>Soccer</strong> Month and educate the public about the joys, rewards and<br />

benefi ts of youth soccer.<br />

Remembering Friends of the Game<br />

Much of the <strong>Foundation</strong>’s work supports the next generation of<br />

soccer stars, but we follow in the footsteps of those who have come<br />

before us. The United States soccer community lost some icons this<br />

year. These individuals played an integral role in the growth of the<br />

game of soccer in the United States and they will be sorely missed.<br />

The <strong>Foundation</strong> asks you to join us in remembering and celebrating<br />

the following friends of soccer whom we lost during the past year.<br />

JOHN GILMAN was the Chief Executive Officer of FieldTurf Inc.<br />

and worldwide CEO of the sports division of FieldTurf Tarkett. A<br />

professional football player and coach with the Canadian Football<br />

League’s Montreal Alouettes in the 1960s, Gilman built FieldTurf<br />

Tarkett into the largest entity in the sports surfacing industry and<br />

ensured that the company conducted extensive research and development<br />

to improve the quality and longevity of FieldTurf in its<br />

application across a variety of sports. FieldTurf has been a long-time<br />

supporter of the <strong>Foundation</strong>.<br />

LAMAR HUNT was an early investor in the North American <strong>Soccer</strong><br />

League and Major League <strong>Soccer</strong>. The Hunt Sports Group operates<br />

FC Dallas, the Columbus Crew, and, until 2006, ran the Kansas City<br />

Wizards. For his efforts to build soccer in the United States, Hunt was<br />

inducted into the National <strong>Soccer</strong> Hall of Fame, awarded the National<br />

<strong>Soccer</strong> Medal of Honor and received the MLS Commissioner’s<br />

Award. In 1999 The U.S. <strong>Soccer</strong> Federation’s National Championship<br />

was renamed the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. Hunt also received the<br />

<strong>Foundation</strong>’s first “Lifetime Achievement Award” in 2005.<br />

GLENN “MOOCH” MYERNICK was an assistant coach on the U.S.<br />

Men’s National Team in the last two World Cups. He also coached<br />

the U.S. Under-23 and Under-17 Men’s National Teams and MLS’s<br />

Colorado Rapids. As a player, Myernick suited up for the National<br />

GILMAN<br />

Team and U.S. Olympic Team, and starred in the North American<br />

<strong>Soccer</strong> League. The <strong>Foundation</strong>’s Mooch Myernick Fund, established<br />

at the request of the Myernick family, has raised more than $250,000<br />

for metropolitan soccer clubs and organizations to increase the number<br />

of urban children playing the sport.<br />

GINO PARIANI was a member of the 1950 U.S. World Cup team<br />

and the 1948 U.S. Olympic squad. He played for the mostly amateur<br />

U.S. squad in its shocking 1-0 defeat of England at the 1950 World<br />

Cup in Brazil. The story of the 1950 team was recounted in the 2005<br />

film, “The Game of Their Lives.” Pariani is a member of the National<br />

<strong>Soccer</strong> Hall of Fame.<br />

PAUL TOBIN was the founder of Official Sports International<br />

(OSI), which outfits amateur and professional soccer referees around<br />

the world. OSI has served as the exclusive supplier of U.S. <strong>Soccer</strong><br />

Federation referee apparel and accessories since 1998, and the<br />

company also supplies uniforms to referees in the English Premier<br />

League.<br />

DAVID VANOLE was a U.S. Men’s National Team player and<br />

coach. The goalkeeper led UCLA to an NCAA championship, played<br />

in the American Professional <strong>Soccer</strong> League and helped the U.S.<br />

squad during the 1988 Olympics and its qualification for the 1990<br />

World Cup. Vanole served as an assistant coach to college, professional<br />

and U.S. National teams. In consultation with the Vanole family,<br />

the <strong>Foundation</strong> established the David Charles Vanole Memorial<br />

Fund to help create and sustain soccer opportunities for underserved<br />

urban children, with an emphasis on communities in Southern California.<br />

Making Every Dollar Count<br />

The <strong>Foundation</strong> takes great pride in the fact that 100 percent of<br />

every dollar donated goes directly into one of its programs. The<br />

<strong>Foundation</strong>’s strictly controlled overhead costs are covered by earnings<br />

on its endowment. This means that every dollar of your gift, to<br />

the Major Charitable Arm of <strong>Soccer</strong>, is utilized to help build the sport.<br />

Since its creation, the <strong>Foundation</strong> has awarded more than<br />

$45 million in grants, financial support and loans to help develop<br />

coaches, players and referees, especially those in economically<br />

disadvantaged urban areas.<br />

The <strong>Foundation</strong> has received the Independent Charities of<br />

America “Best in America” Seal of Excellence. This distinction is<br />

awarded to organizations that have, upon rigorous independent<br />

Administration 13%<br />

Development 4%<br />

review, been able to certify, document and demonstrate that they<br />

meet the highest standards of public accountability, program effectiveness<br />

and cost effectiveness. Of the one million charities operating<br />

in the United States today, it is estimated that fewer than 5<br />

percent, or 50,000, meet or exceed these standards, and, of those,<br />

fewer than 2,000 have been awarded this Seal.<br />

The <strong>Foundation</strong> voluntarily submitted itself to be evaluated by the<br />

Better Business Bureau (BBB) Wise Giving Alliance and its standards for<br />

Charity Accountability. The report generated by the BBB Wise Giving<br />

Alliance can be found at give.org.<br />

In addition, the <strong>Foundation</strong> was once again selected as a<br />

designated charity for the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC<br />

11448) , offering an important avenue through which Federal<br />

civilian, postal and military employees may donate to the<br />

<strong>Foundation</strong> and its programs.<br />
