Summer Solstice Shootout

Our mission is to raise funds for youth soccer.  We provide funds to youth soccer programs in Helena, MT so they can in turn provide scholarships to underprivileged youth who would otherwise be unable to participate in soccer programs due to the costs.

Areas Served

Our target audience includes underprivileged youth, likely between the ages of 5 to 17, in Helena, MT.

Impact

In 2019, we raised funds and made a $900 donation to Helena Youth Soccer Association youth soccer scholarships, a $650 donation to YMCA youth soccer scholarships, and a $650 donation to Queen City FC youth soccer scholarships. Full and partial scholarships will benefit between 30 and 120 children in Helena.

Project / Needs

We host an annual adult, co-ed soccer tournament each summer with teams from Helena and around the state. All money raised from team fees and sponsorships over the amount of the cost of the event will go to Helena youth soccer program scholarships.

Other Fundraising

We hope to have an ‘Community Monday’ night at Blackfoot River Brewing in 2020 as well. We also seek out additional sponsorships from local businesses throughout the year, receiving 5 to 6 sponsorships typically for $200 each. No other fundraising events are scheduled at this time.

How Will The Funds Be Used

All funds raised over the cost of the event will be given to local Helena youth soccer programs to assist underprivileged youth to participate in the program through scholarships.  Based on years past, we anticipate a total donation to youth soccer programs of approximately $2,200.
