ABOUT US

Empowering Families With Every Kick

Goals for Life is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Phoenix, Arizona, holding Candid’s Platinum Seal of Transparency. It began with a founder’s soccer tournament that brought together 400+ people from 70 families — proof that the game can unite a whole community.

Our vision: that no family in Arizona — and one day in the entire United States — is left on the bench: not from the game, not from health, not from opportunity.
