Our Mission

We’ve transformed the lives of children by instilling positive healthy eating habits and encouraging physical activity through our soccer education programs.  You can help put the power of Sips & Kicks into even more children.

Over 15 Million children live in food insecure households.

Those children are our audience, our market, our team.
