Donate soccer balls
for children in Iraq
"KICK FOR NICK" is a non-profit organization founded by the parents of us Army Pfc. Nick Madaras, who was killed at the age of 19 by an lED in Iraq. When Nick saw the Iraqi children trying to play soccer in the streets with bags of rocks, he decided to do something about it. He gathered balls when he was on leave to take back to the children. After his death, his parents decided to continue to spread Nick's love of soccer by collecting soccer balls and sending them to Iraq.
