Kick It Back
Kick It Back is a nationwide program established by The Sanneh Foundation in 2009. The program’s core objectives are to promote the need for new and gently worn soccer shoes, increase contributions, and serve as a vehicle to distribute the footwear to those in need. We believe, by setting the example at the highest competitive level of soccer, that colleges, soccer clubs and individuals will follow our lead.
The program starts with Tony Sanneh and his fellow Major League Soccer players and partners donating their used equipment to The Sanneh Foundation. The Foundation will distribute it to underprivileged individuals, children and foundations that share our common goal. This equipment represents an opportunity for all of us to give, grow and share the game of soccer.
There are two ways to be a part of the Kick It Back program…
