Goals for Growth

Join us for the inaugural Goals for Growth Night—a powerful evening of purpose, play, and possibility.

Hosted by the Creative Player Foundation at the beautiful lofts of Emerson Joseph Uptown, this signature fundraising event is dedicated to expanding access to our soccer and education-based youth programs. All proceeds will directly support children currently on our waitlist—young minds eager to participate but slide tackled by limited resources.

The night will feature inspiring stories, interactive activities, casino fun, and opportunities to give—all in celebration of the transformative power of sport and education. Your support will help us remove barriers, open doors, and deliver life-changing opportunities to the children of our community.

Together, we can turn goals into growth—and dreams into reality.

This night's venue, food and beverages are made possible because of our generous donors! Emerson Joseph, Legion Brewing and Brew Movers.

Info: Bid on special silent auction items. Here are some of the items up for bid: Charlotte FC Suite for a Game, a vacation weekend in Kiawah at a private residence, Club Seats to Charlotte FC match, custom designed shoes by Shoedio, Hydra facial therapy from Emerson Joseph and more!

Info: Test your luck in this friendly challenge of Blackjack, Craps, Roulette and Poker. Remaining chip totals will be converted to raffle tickets for prizes

Info: Daniel Araujo, the Creative Player Foundation's Executive Director, will share some stories and the successes of 2024/2025 and discuss the future of the foundation and our goal to have the funds to accept more children into the program for next year.
