Rush Reach Program

REACH PROGRAM

"Going beyond boundaries and exceeding expectations."

Rush Equipment Assisting Children (R.E.A.C.H.) is one of the most special and important programs within Rush. The REACH program collects used uniforms and equipment from Rush families to donate to underprivileged children throughout the world. The program reflects our Core Values and represents who we are as a club. We strongly believe in the impact that soccer has in a community and the social component it carries with it. The REACH Program has benefited thousands of children both domestically and internationally by providing not only soccer equipment, but also hope to the lives we have touched. The simple thing of a soccer ball or soccer shirt can make a world of difference to a child that is going through troubled times. This program also acts as a useful tool for coaches to instill important values to our players. Georgia Rush believes that the life lessons taught off the field will be carried by the players for a lifetime. Georgia Rush encourages their members to donate used, unwanted or even new soccer equipment, such as balls, shoes, shin guards and uniforms so they can be distributed here locally and throughout the world to needy children. Help us help them.
