The 2013 Charity Ball World Tour sets sail from the Port of San Diego this Wednesday, January 9.
The tour will take place over a 4-month period and 500 new, quality soccer balls will be hand delivered to kids in 10 different countries. Tom Bearer, a student at the University of Maine will be giving leadership to the the deliveries on the ground. Emily Wood and Jackie Faryniarz are also leveraging their semester at sea by representing Charity Ball in the effort. We anticipate some really cool stories and pictures coming our way over the next several weeks.
Dates and countries are listed below. We will be publishing tour updates here at charityball.org and via Twitter @charityballnews. Be sure stop by and catch the latest, the greatest and pictures of all the smiling faces.
A big thanks to: Soccer World, John Rivers and Co., Bounce Athletics, SoccerPro.com and the players at Canton Celtic (Canton, MI) for helping sponsor the tour. This is going to be amazing!
