The Foundation celebrates a decade of building community through sports in Denver

The social sports school that the Real Madrid Foundation operates in Denver (Colorado) in collaboration with Colorado United Soccer Club held its traditional end-of-season event. This gathering brought together nearly 150 beneficiaries, family members, and educational team members to share experiences, strengthen bonds, and celebrate the achievements of the past year.

This event reflects one of the project's key values: supporting both children and their families. Since its launch in 2015, the school has become a space where sports serve as a meeting point to promote education in values, enhance community cohesion, and create opportunities for families who often face significant economic and social challenges.

Strengthening the sense of belonging
During the event, participants enjoyed sports activities, games, and moments of fellowship that highlighted the effort, dedication, and growth of each child. At the same time, families were able to share experiences and strengthen their sense of belonging to a community that grows year after year around the school.

The project primarily works with Latino families living in southern Denver, an area where access to certain resources and services can be more limited. For this reason, the school's intervention goes far beyond sports practice, promoting initiatives that support the overall well-being of participants and their families.

Health education activities
In this regard, the implementation of the Future Well Kids program, developed in collaboration with ABBOTT, stands out. Through this program, children participate in health education activities, while their families receive training and practical tools on important aspects such as healthy eating, proper rest, and the adoption of beneficial habits for child development. In this way, the project's impact extends beyond the field and directly into the daily lives of households.

Currently, the Denver social sports school benefits 117 children and has become one of the flagship projects of the Real Madrid Foundation. Its success lies in an integral vision that combines sports, education, health, and family participation to promote the personal and social development of its participants.
