Together, we are bigger than the game.
WHO
WE ARE
Here at SUSA FC Academy, we believe in using our platform as one of the largest youth academies in New York State to be an active part of the community. Our state-of-the-art facility serves as an invaluable community resource, hosting everything from charity walks, toys, coats, and blood drives to food banks and fundraisers for our in-house scholarship fund.
We use our office facilities for educational purposes, including coaching and mentoring. Additionally, we take pride in helping low-income communities and athletes in Guinea, and of course, we continuously use the influence and love of soccer for good.
MISSION
OUR FOUNDATION
The SUSA CARES Foundation furthers our Club’s mission of uniting the community through soccer, bringing joy to people, and being a force for good in our community by supporting critical programs and bringing the SUSA spirit wherever we go.
VISSION
What Made Us Start
Drawing from childhood inspiration of giving back to the less fortunate, the tragedy of 9/11 prompted SUSA's coaches to start giving back to the troops overseas. Cookies were baked,
and handwritten notes and drawings were sent to our troops, which ultimately segued into delivering these packages to nursing homes and developing toy and food drives.
Seeing a need for more of these philanthropic efforts within the
community, SUSA Cares was born.
