SLA Philanthropy Contributions

The Sports Lawyers Association makes a sizeable philanthropic contribution during their annual meeting to a deserving non-profit organization from the host city. The SLA has contributed over $300,000 to philanthropic organizations from 2000 to 2021.

For 2022, the SLA has selected Soccer in the Streets, an Atlanta-based organization that combines soccer with education, life skills and community development. Since the early 2000s, Soccer in the Streets has been focusing its efforts on low-income communities and launched the initiative, StationSoccer– a network of soccer fields located at major transit stations. This initiative addresses accessibility both to fields and adequate transportation by connecting soccer facilities at and through public transit. /p>

This year, the Sports Lawyers Association has elected to keep the Annual Conference in Atlanta in order to continue the conversation about the dangers of voter suppression and the need for voter access and education. As such, the SLA is also making a contribution to the League of Women Voters of Georgia to help make a difference by protecting voting rights and providing very important voter education.

Any donations you make here will be forwarded to the above 501(c)(3) organizations. We invite you to partner with the SLA to make a real impact in Atlanta this year!
