Vancouver Whitecaps FC players are participating in Hope and Health, Changing Lives One Goal At a Time.
Hope and Health is an annual event that utilizes soccer to build resilience and connection amongst Aboriginal children and youth. More than just an event, Hope and Health is a movement to inspire hope, as well as improve physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health and life conditions for Aboriginal children and youth.
Hope and Health began in Nanaimo, BC six years ago. This year marks the second year that Hope and Health will hold two events. The second annual Vancouver event will take place on Tuesday, July 25 at Musqueam Park, while the Nanaimo event will be held on Wednesday, August 16 at Beban Park.
