Tournament 2–5 PM
Prize-Giving Dinner with Guest Speaker 6–9 PM
Please save the date to compete in the Grassroot Soccer Changemaker Cup tournament!
Have you ever dreamed of playing on a Premiership pitch? Now is your chance: Grassroot Soccer (GRS) invites you to experience the thrill and excitement of competing on the hallowed turf of Stamford Bridge, the home of Chelsea Football Club.
Join us on Thursday, 23rd May for the annual Grassroot Soccer Changemaker Cup, which sees 16 teams battle it out to take home the coveted trophy and be crowned champion Changemakers!
By entering a team (or teams!) you could find yourself playing alongside or against great football legends like GRS Ambassador Robert Pires while helping raise funds to empower young adolescent boys and girls facing their greatest health challenges and realise their dreams through the power of football.
After match play, you and your teammates are invited to relax and network with other guests over a refreshing drink and dinner in a private suite in the clubhouse overlooking the famous Stamford Bridge pitch. Later, we will welcome a special VIP guest speaker to entertain us with sporting stories from on and off the pitch. And throughout the evening you will have the chance to bid on lots of exciting memorabilia prizes and experiences in the silent auction.
Grassroot Soccer uses the power of football to connect young people with the mentors, information, and health services they need to thrive, and empowers adolescents to make educated choices about pressing health challenges such as HIV/AIDS, sexual health, gender-based violence, and malaria. All proceeds from the tournament will go directly towards funding this vital work to support these young people.
