Moran Foundation holds football festival Aug. 14

-

MANILA, Philippines - The Moran Foundation will hold the “Football for Good Challenge Festival” on Aug. 14 at the La Salle-Greenhills, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The one-day football festival is being held for the less fortunate kids aged 13-16 years old coming from institutions like Gawad Kalinga, Tuloy sa Don Bosco, Nayon ng Kabataan and Manila Boys Town, among others.

“Football for Good Challenge Festival is the first of several football festivals that we are organizing this year under the Henry V. Moran Foundation, of which I am head of football programs,” said Ed Formoso.

The football charity is being called “Football for the Good of Others,” which is being done to help poor kids have a good time and provide them hope through the sport, the most popular sport in the world but never in the country.

As a foundation, the Moran Foundation already helped send kids to play in international tournaments like the Homeless World Cup in 2008 in Melbourne, Australia and 2009 in Milan, Italy.

In this year’s Homeless World Cup in South Africa, the Filipino street kids turned in a remarkable performance.
