Our Purpose
Play it Forward is a mutual aid-based initiative that raises funds to continually provide soccer scholarships to youth in Snohomish and King counties. Scholarships may include but are not exclusive to weekday school and weekend league soccer session tuition. With your support, more youth in our community can experience the joy of physical activity within an inclusive environment.
The unfortunate reality is that there are children who do not get to participate in organized sports for various reasons. We believe in a future where the institutionalized patterns of circumstances that stand as barriers to strong, healthy families is eradicated and all children have equitable access to experiences that develop their self-efficacy. Together we can use our resources to empower the Brave, Creative, Leaders of tomorrow!

At Seattle HappyFeet, we fully believe in our mission to provide the highest quality programming to all children regardless of socioeconomic status. In addition to the sponsorship funding received, Seattle Happyfeet is committed to partially funding all scholarships so we can make a positive, physical education environment accessible to more families.
