Project Description:

Midas Football Academy is proud to introduce "Crossing Bridges," a powerful underserved community outreach program designed to uplift and connect with the heart of Houston and its environs. This quarterly, one-day public event serves as an inspiring gesture of solidarity and appreciation, focusing on single parents raising boys within the community. In the vibrant tapestry of Houston’s diverse neighborhoods, there exist stories of resilience, determination, and unwavering love.

"Crossing Bridges" is a heartfelt endeavor to recognize and support the incredible single parents who are raising young boys amidst unique challenges. It is a day of celebration, empowerment, and giving back to those who have dedicated their lives to nurturing the next generation.

The event is an opportunity for the young boys in the community to engage in sports and mentorship activities provided by Midas Football Academy. This interaction fosters positive role modeling, mentorship opportunities, and the development of life skills.

Beyond the gifts, "Crossing Bridges" offers workshops and resources that empower single parents with knowledge and skills to navigate their unique journey effectively. Topics such as parenting, financial literacy, and personal development are covered to equip them with tools for success.

The program seeks to shine a spotlight on the remarkable single parents in the community. Through heartfelt ceremonies and expressions of gratitude, these unsung heroes are acknowledged for their dedication and love as they navigate the complexities of parenthood.
