Greetings From 4 Worlds United Soccer Alliance,
Thanks to your support, 4WU players have had a terrific fall season.
Momo, a long time 4WU player, helped NEU Barca White place 4th in their division, qualifying for the Northwest Champions League regional tournament in 2014! Way to go NEU Barca White!
A BIG THANK YOU to MulvannyG2 Architecture for hosting a fundraising event. Over 100 people attended, raising over $1,700 for 4 Worlds United. Key contributions were made by IDL Worldwide, Deschutes Brewery, Gigantic Brewing, Craftbrew Alliance, Core Power Yoga, Coalition Brewing, and Oregon State University. Catering provided by Lardo, at a discount.
Thank you to all who attended and those who made the event possible!
Who We Are
Playing soccer in the US is expensive, and these children cannot afford to pay to play. 4WU breaks through this financial barrier, getting kids on the field and keeping them there. Your help allows us to meet needs such as:
-
Team and uniform fees
-
Paperwork translation and assistance with team registration and proof of identity/age
-
Transportation logistics for getting to practices, games, and tournaments
-
Access to local competitive and recreational clubs who might otherwise never reach these children
-
An introduction to coaching and basic skills through free summer soccer programs
4WU Needs Your Support
There are several ways you can support 4th world youth
and 4 Worlds United today:
Donate Today
Your donations will help these kids get past the "pay to play" system that keeps so many of them off the field.
As a 501c3 organization, your donations are tax deductible.

Volunteer
There are several ways you can personally step in to make a difference:
Drivers
This need is greater now more than ever. Our kids often need help getting to and from their soccer practices and games. You can drive two kids or a whole car-load, usually no more than once or twice a week.
Mentors
Many of the children we work with lack available and dedicated role models to help them stay on track with their lives.
Story Tellers
Can you create compelling images and evocative stories with your photos or words? If so we’d love to talk to you more about telling some of the stories of the kids we work with.
Advocate
Do you know someone who might be interested in helping us reach our goals? Forward this email to them, direct them to our website, our Facebook page or Twitter feed. Tell them about 4 Worlds United!
We at 4 Worlds United Soccer Alliance thank you for your time and your help at any level. Working together, we can all make Portland "Soccer City USA" for every player that wants to get into the game.
Sincerely,
Mark Verna
Founder and President
4 Worlds United Soccer Alliance, Portland Oregon
