A BALL’S JOURNEY. A GAME’S BEGINNING.
Helicoptered into remote parts of Iraq and Syria, PARK footballs reached young people in communities affected by conflict. Working with the Iraqi Soccer Project, we helped create opportunities to play in places that were difficult to reach.

GETTING THE BALLS THERE.
The Iraqi Soccer Project brings the enjoyment of football to young people in Iraq and surrounding regions. Using the logistical reach of the US Army, PARK footballs were transported by helicopter to remote communities in western Iraq and eastern Syria. The partnership delivered 1,000 balls through our Pass-a-Ball Project.

An extraordinary journey for a simple purpose: getting a ball into the hands of someone who needed to play.

MAKING ROOM FOR PLAY.
A football gives young people something to do together. A reason to gather, choose teams and start a game. Our partners made the deliveries possible. Your purchases helped supply the balls. Together, we supported opportunities for young people to experience the connection and enjoyment of football.

From a helicopter to a patch of ground. From a ball to a game.
