“I joined the Pure Game family after witnessing Tony Everett’s vision, to encourage & shape the lives of marginalized youth, to work to change the actions of many participants. Pure Game uses a unique platform to first engage children by using the “pickup”, “backyard”, “street” soccer concept that’s free flowing and all inclusive to teach, encourage and mentor children about positive character traits and how they can be used to make better choices in everyday life. The transformation that happens as testified by the children, parents, teachers, city and county stakeholders and community partners is incredible and I’m so happy to be a part of it.”
