Grassroot Soccer’s 2024 World AIDS Day Gala honored the US Women's National Team, and we were honored to present them their award in recognition of their remarkable contributions to change on and off the field.
“Like in every organization, it’s the people that really make it work,” said Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) Co-President Andreas Dracopoulos in his introductory remarks about the team. SNF was invited to make the introduction as last year’s honoree, alongside the TV show Ted Lasso.
SNF grants have supported Grassroot Soccer’s MindSKILLZ program, a play-based youth mental health methodology, in Kenya as part of SNF’s Global Health Initiative.
