One Team, One Dream

Last winter, Soccer Salam successfully reached over 1,000 families in desperate need of winter aid.  This summer, we embark on the next phase of our mission to help displaced Iraqi children.


Today, Soccer Salam announces the launch of its Crowdrise fundraiser. We’re asking you and everyone we know to help us reach our goal of $20,000 within 60 days to provide our field-based team with what they need to purchase food, water tanks, medicine, and other essentials – along with soccer balls – for more than 2,000 displaced families in Iraq this summer. We need your help to make this goal.


Any amount you can give would be greatly appreciated. We also invite you to help fundraise along with us. Imagine the impact we can have if each of our supporters joined the fundraiser and got their friends and family to donate to our cause. If you’re interested in joining our team, visit our Crowdrise fundraiser and click ‘FUNDRAISE FOR THIS CAMPAIGN.’ In seconds, you’ll have your own fundraiser that you can share with everyone you know.


To donate, just visit us on Crowdrise and click the big orange donate button. Please give what you can. It’ll take less than a minute. All donations via our Crowdrise page are fully tax deductible and will go directly to our team in Iraq.
Please share this fundraiser with everyone you know — your family, best friends, even your neighbor.


Thank you for your support.

According to the latest UN estimate, 5.2 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance in Iraq. To discuss that challenge, EPIC convened a distinguished panel with Francois Stamm of ICRC, Michel Gabaudan of Refugees International, Joe Stork of Human Rights Watch, and Nancy Youssef of The Daily Beast. Hosted by the Iraqi Cultural Center on January 16, 2015, the panelists offered insights on the deepening crisis, the opaqueness of the current military campaign, and warnings for the future of international aid in Iraq, as the fight against ISIS and inadequate shelter leaves many Iraqi families out in the cold. - See more at: www.epic-usa.org/19-out-in-the-co…sh.AqSMxpq6.dpuf
