About the Event

Soccer Ball brings the UI community together for one amazing night. Just like our participants, we’re excited to see our friends!

Donations from the silent auction, ticket sales, and live paddle raise will directly support the work that we are doing with 100,000 youth in 45 communities across the city. Proceeds further our mission, strengthen safe spaces for play, and build a city-wide community that knows no barriers.
