Give Kids the Chance to Play: Ricardo Perez Youth

Help Us Give More Kids the Chance to Play

Soccer has the power to bring people together, build confidence, create friendships, and encourage healthy, active lifestyles. Unfortunately, the cost of participating can prevent some kids from experiencing everything the game has to offer.

The Ricardo Perez Youth Soccer Fund was created to help change that.

Our mission is to promote health and wellness for underserved youth by providing resources and opportunities to play soccer. Through charitable grants and community partnerships, we support nonprofit organizations working to make the game more accessible to young people.

Ricardo and Kianna Perez established this charitable fund in 2024 to provide grants to nonprofits that expand youth soccer opportunities. Ricardo, a former professional soccer player with the Colorado Rapids who grew up in Fort Collins, Colorado, and Kianna, a nurse and former soccer player from Greeley, Colorado, are passionate about helping youth thrive in their community.

Our goal is to raise $1,000 by September 15.

Every contribution—no matter the amount—brings us closer to helping more kids get on the field. Your donation can help support access to soccer programs, equipment, resources, and opportunities that might otherwise be out of reach.

Together, we can remove barriers, create opportunities, and give more kids the chance to play.

Thank you for supporting the Ricardo Perez Youth Soccer Fund and believing in the positive impact soccer can have on the next generation.
