Play For Blake is a 501c3 nonprofit foundation in loving memory of Blake Buchbinder, a passionate and determined soccer player whose life was tragically cut short at the age of 13.

 

Our Mission is rooted in the belief that every child should have the opportunity to experience the joy of the game that Blake cherished deeply. At Play For Blake, we firmly believe in the profound power of soccer to shape individuals.

 

Our Vision is that no child should be left behind due to limited resources or opportunities. We are committed to providing economically disadvantaged kids of all ages with access to the beautiful game and all its transformative benefits. We strive to eliminate barriers to participation by providing necessary soccer equipment to children in need. By ensuring that every child has access to proper gear, we empower them to take the first steps towards embracing soccer as a source of joy, growth, and camaraderie. Through soccer, we aspire to build confidence, foster teamwork, and install valuable life skills.

 

We hope you follow along and be part of the movement as we honor Blake Buchbinder’s legacy and empower young hearts through soccer. Together, we can create a world where every child has the chance to thrive on and off the pitch. We can make a difference in the lives of children, one goal, one smile, and one cherished memory at a time.
