Charity Ball

Ethan King is a 15 year old from Michigan whose dream is to give soccer balls to kids all over the world. Pass the Ball is a short film created by dress code that chronicles Ethan's most recent trip to Mozambique with professional player Neven Subotić. Ethan and Neven not only donate new soccer balls but share how soccer can help cross borders and foster community. Sappi Paper's Ideas that Matter Grant made the film possible. Their current grant application series is open until July 11.
