A MESSAGE FROM Michael Kushner's NYC Marathon Fundraiser - SWB Charity
Hello friends and family. On November 3rd, 2024, I'm going to run the New York City Marathon. I was lucky enough to be accepted to run for the nonprofit Soccer Without Borders and help them raise money for their mission. Any donation no matter how small, is so appreciated and it's going towards helping underserved youth with a toolkit to overcome obstacles to growth, inclusion, and personal success.
The SWB mission was inspired by Nelson Mandela's quote "sport has the power to change the world." Sports have impacted my life beyond words and feel lucky to have been influenced by incredible coaches I've had playing three sports over the course of 15 years. SWB gives kids a chance to have this same experience, helping them become a part of a larger community with incredible coaches and mentors.
SWB believes in the power of soccer, the world's universal language, to create positive change for individuals, families, communities, and the world. Their mission is to use soccer as a vehicle for positive change for underserved youth. Their programs are designed for young people to develop agency, a sense of belonging, and the skills to contribute, building social capital and strengthening positive identity development.
Thank you for your support!
