The Challenge

Every year, DC SCORES sets a fundraising goal to meet our needs. We've met or exceeded this goal nearly every year since 1994. This year, ending August 31, we are $130,000 shy, but determined to succeed. Our poet-athletes and their families are counting on us.

The Goal

The challenge to raise $130,000 during the 30 days of the World Cup began with Executive Director Amy Nakamoto juggling a soccer ball on the streets of DC from 7AM-7PM June 24th and 25th.Thanks to generous donations from new and long-time supporters, we have now raised over $54,000!

While we have not yet met our goal of $130,000, we are not giving up.  We continue to approach our corporate and foundation supporters in order to end this fiscal year (August 31) with as few losses as possible.  

Going forward, we have made hard and necessary budget cuts so as not to find ourselves in this position again, while also not depleting our operating reserve.  At this point, we are excited to share that we do not anticipate making any programming cuts to students going into the fall. 


KICK. keep the soccer ball moving and off the ground. Upload a video of yourself juggling.

CLICK. donate online and follow our progress. 

SCORE. give DC youth the tools to succeed on the field and in the classroom.
