Southside Soccer Club, 2020 CFDRR Competitive Grant Recipient
According to SSC: Under Phase III COVID-19 restrictions, Southside Soccer Club began fall play in early September 2020. The main field, now without a crippling drainage problem thanks to CFDRR funding, hosted expanded play for U15 and U19 teams. The new drainage system allowed faster overall field drying and turned week-long delays into a day or two following a heavy rain event. In its first season, the field was heavily used by four U15 teams and five U19 teams. Additionally, other teams found space for additional practices. This was a huge boon to over 350 children, their siblings, and families that safely participated in fall games. COVID-19 made the project critical to successful fall play by allowing more space for social distancing during practice and play.

Westside Cardinals Youth Football League, 2020 CFDRR Competitive Grant Recipient
According to WCYFL: The CFDRR grant has had a tremendous impact on our organization. Several of the organization’s needs have been met including modern safety equipment, uniforms, and an AED machine. The football program provides meaning in some of these young men’s lives who would not otherwise have hope. This grant helped relieve the monetary burden and, in return, allowed us to focus more on other areas, helping us grow as an organization.
