The Hollywood Foundation’s dedication to fostering sports at the Grassroots level continues to make a significant impact through its CSI initiatives. This commitment to building a brighter future for sports in South Africa was recently exemplified by a generous contribution to Urban African Soccer, a dynamic new club dedicated to empowering youth in their community. Established in 2023, Urban African Soccer aims to inspire young athletes and motivate them to pursue careers in sport. With 30 enthusiastic players, the club has already begun making waves by winning local tournaments.
The excitement surrounding this CSI initiative reached new heights when the Purple Team from the Phuthaditjhaba branch nominated Urban African Soccer to receive a vital contribution of brand-new soccer kits. This contribution, facilitated by the Hollywood Foundation, is a strategic investment in the future of these young athletes. The kits are essential for the Club’s continued success and development, enhancing their ability to compete and grow. On 13 June 2024, the Phuthaditjhaba branch Team, alongside representatives from the Hollywood Foundation, visited Urban African Soccer to hand over the much-anticipated gear.
The atmosphere was electric with joy and excitement as the Team presented the new kits to the players. Coach Lawrence of Urban African Soccer expressed heartfelt gratitude for the contribution, stating, “This support from the Hollywood Foundation is more than just is important to our Team. The new kits will boost our players’ confidence and strengthen our community’s spirit. We are incredibly thankful for this investment in our youth and our future.”
The Hollywood Foundation’s CSI initiatives are making a tangible difference in the world of Grassroots Sports, providing essential resources, encouragement and inspiration to young athletes. Through such contributions, the Foundation continues to demonstrate its unwavering commitment to nurturing talent and building a brighter future for South Africa’s sporting community.
