We love how energized our Poet-Athletes have been while wearing their New Balance kit this Fall season, and we're grateful to have New Balance as our exclusive apparel sponsor! Thank you to the New Balance Foundation for believing in our Poet-Athletes and the power of soccer and poetry to transform lives.

We brought Inspired Art back to New York and Harlem as our way of rounding out National Poetry Month. Thank you to the artists, poets, musicians and guests who helped make it an incredible evening! Special word of gratitude to Ruairi Curtin and the Alan Spanier Foundation who were our guests and helped us announce their gift of $500,000 to help us finally expand our programming to Queens. Just in time for next year’s 25th Anniversary and the 2026 World Cup!
