Team Support
Major League Soccer’s DC United players visit our soccer programs and offer tickets to our kids. The San Diego Spirit and the Washington Freedom, of the now-defunct WUSA, have in the past sponsored Joy of Sports Jersey nights to benefit JSF’s programs in those cities. The ATP Tour has been a long-time JSF sponsor and has provided children in our programs access to star male tennis players. The San Diego Padres have made in-kind donations to JSF.

We thank all of our generous supporters!
