In 2023 Vertical Boost initiated a project to provide a brand new regulation-size (8′ x 24′) soccer goal to benefit the children and families living at Evergreen East in Fairport, NY. After many months of hard work and help from wonderful partners, the goal was put in place on 5/19/2025!
We are so grateful for all of our wonderful partners who helped make this project such a success. Thank you, Evergreen East, WinnCompanies, Fairport Rotary, Learning Links, and the Town of Perinton for your partnership and support!
What follows is a series of updates in reverse chronological order.
***08/27/2025 *** We stopped by to check in on a summer camp at Evergreen East. It was so great to see the kids enjoying the new goal!
*** 06/04/2025 Update *** – Mission Accomplished! We held an official ribbon-cutting ceremony for the soccer goal during Evergreen East’s Community Event! Kids participated in fun contests to hit the target and win prizes. Every child who attended received a brand new soccer ball, and we also raffled off new soccer cleats and jerseys. It was a fantastic time.
A lot of work went on behind the scenes to make this project successful. We want to thank everyone from Evergreen East, the Fairport Rotary, and the Town of Perinton for helping make this all possible! We hope this goal brings joy to the kids and families of Evergreen East and shows them that their community cares about them!
