Dear YSI Family

 

We want to take the opportunity to update you on where The YSI Foundation is in planning for this summer’s soccer camp programming. Since you were so generous with your giving, we want to make sure that you know how your dollars are supporting the immigrant and refugee kids of Chicago. We’ve finalized our plans to provide summer soccer in collaboration with Centro Romero. The camps will run from July 17 to August 11 at The Chicago Futsal Academy. Staff at Centro Romero have told us that the enthusiasm for YSI Foundation soccer is very high! The kids from last year are excited to return! Additionally, word has spread and there are more kids interested in participating this year!  Registration is now open at Centro Romero and we hope to reach even more kids than the 50 we did last year. Additionally, we are pleased to announce that we’re in the beginning of developing a collaboration with Refugee One, an organization serving refugee families on the Northside. We will be offering Refugee One kids the opportunity to join Centro Romero kids to play together, in fulfillment of The YSI Foundation’s goal to bring kids from different backgrounds together to enjoy the beautiful game. We are excited about our second summer of YSI Foundation soccer camp programming and we will update you again at the end of the summer.
