Kick It Forward Festival

Join us for a community-wide soccer themed fundraiser filled with excitement, great food, and activities for all ages, all in support of Un Solo Balón, a student-led nonprofit dedicated to collecting and donating soccer equipment to underserved communities in La Guaira, Venezuela, and Miami, Florida.

This special event is organized by Doral Academy students José Lazzaro and Manuel Lazzaro, founders of Un Solo Balón, together with former STEM ambassador and educator Ray Cabreriza. Together, we aim to create a memorable day of fun, connection, and giving back.

Enjoy various soccer-inspired events and activities that everyone can participate in and enjoy, from friendly challenges to interactive stations. Whether you’re playing or cheering from the sidelines, there will be plenty to experience throughout the day.

Events include:

• The Floor Is Lava Juggling Mini-Challenge
• The Final Boss Penalty Mini-Challenge
• 5v5 World Cup Mini-Soccer Tournament*

Event bundles available at check-out! 

Bundles come with automatic raffle tickets of corresponding value, given to you at sign-in!

1 raffle ticket = $5; thus, with every $5 spent, you are allotted another raffle ticket!

Example: If you spend $10, you receive 2 raffle tickets. If you spend $23, you receive 4 raffle tickets.

Each of the above events will also have a corresponding prize!

Everyone can participate, if you do not want to play, just buy a raffle ticket as we will also be raffling off exciting prizes separately from the above events!

Want a bigger chance to win a prize? You're in luck as additional raffle tickets may be purchased a the festival!

Delicious food will be available, including burgers, choripán, chicken sandwiches, freshly baked cookies and more!

Proceeds will directly support Un Solo Balón’s mission to collect and donate soccer equipment to children in need, helping young athletes in both Venezuela and Miami enjoy the sport they love.
