SoccerGrow is a soccer charity aimed at supporting the international soccer community, specifically lower-income regions. SoccerGrow was started in June 2008 by the founders of the soccer retailer SoccerPro,[1] with the intention of getting its customer base involved with soccer charity work. SoccerGrow works with other charities, such as Kicks for Kenya,[2][3] by donating soccer products to them to distribute.
