Overview

Peace Is The Goal started as a goodwill initiative in October 2006 when founder Mitchell Arnold was 13 years old. Now led by Mitchell’s younger brother, Evan, this ongoing initiative aims to make the world a better place to live in by spreading the message of peace and giving through "the world’s game," soccer. Peace Is The Goal provides soccer equipment (balls, cleats, goalie gloves, shinguards, pumps, storage, uniforms) to at-risk youth around the world. By providing this equipment, the organization's goal is to give kids something positive to do, give them hope, and give them a smile. More than $110,000 worth of soccer equipment has been sent. Peace Is The Goal officially became a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in the fall of 2015.
