Back to School, Back to Impact!

This weekend, FCC USA was honored to join an incredible community event in South Dade and Homestead, organized by Commissioner Danielle Cohen Higgins.

Panel on Sport, Impact, and Community

FCC Executive Director Danielle Dubuc Wightman took the stage as moderator of the Plei With Purpose panel,an evening of powerful conversation at the intersection of sport, strategy, impact, and community.

At FCC, we believe that every child deserves a space where they feel safe, supported, and inspired to grow.

Ricky Perez, an 11-year-old from South Florida, joined our program in August through his neighborhood recreation center. With no prior experience in soccer, he felt nervous and unsure about stepping into something completely new.

Thanks to the support of FIFA, FIFA World Cup, and Gianni Infantino, FCC was honored to receive 500 tickets to the thrilling Bayern vs. Flamengo match. This opportunity allowed hundreds of children, youth, and families, many from some of the most underserved areas in South Florida—to enjoy a day filled with joy, connection, and a true sense of belonging.

It’s hard to believe it’s already been two months since our 4th FCC Corporate Soccer Tournament, held on April 3rd! Yet the energy, unity, and purpose of that day still resonate deeply with all of us at FCC USA.
