OUR PARTNERS
SUMMER WORD CUP is strengthened by a coalition of organizations, leaders, and institutions
who believe boys deserve more than exposure to opportunity, they deserve intentional pathways to confidence, literacy, and expanded possibility. Together, these partnerships build something bigger than a summer experience: a widening of possibility for boys who too often inherit limits before they inherit opportunity.
MAYOR’S OFFICE OF BLACK MALE ENGAGEMENT
We are proud to welcome the Mayor’s Office of Black Male Engagement as an official partner for SUMMER WORD CUP™. Their commitment to advancing opportunity, visibility, and outcomes for Black boys and men makes them a natural and powerful alignment with this work. Together, we are ensuring that this moment is not just experienced—but leveraged—to expand literacy, confidence, and long-term engagement for the boys we serve.
READ TO SUCCEED PHILADELPHIA
A trusted literacy organization committed to strengthening reading outcomes and educational opportunity for young people, Read To Succeed Philadelphia (R2S) joins SUMMER WORD CUP™ as an official partner and part of a growing coalition investing in boys through literacy, exposure, and expanded possibility. Their presence helps reinforce the educational foundation of an experience designed to connect reading, language, and the global energy of soccer. R2S is the vision of Pennsylvania State Senator Vincent Hughes.
