Meet Noah. 👋

Noah recently completed Coca-Cola FC Academy, where he built new skills, grew his confidence, and embraced one lesson he’ll never forget:
“Be brave.”

That journey led to an unforgettable opportunity. Through our partnership with The The Coca-Cola Company, Noah was selected to serve as a Coca-Cola Flag Bearer during the FIFA World Cup, representing the power of inclusion, leadership, and believing in yourself.

When asked what he’d tell someone thinking about joining Coca-Cola FC Academy, his answer was simple:
“Do it!”

This is just the beginning. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be introducing more ambassadors whose stories show what’s possible when people are given the opportunity to learn, grow, and shine.

The fun is heating up! ☀️

Our friends at Sky Zone just lowered the price of their Summer Play Pass, making it easier than ever to enjoy summer fun together. Through our partnership, a portion of eligible proceeds from Summer Play Pass sales helps expand opportunities for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) through programs.

While summer is in full swing, friendships continue to grow. All season long, people with and without IDD are building meaningful connections, growing in confidence, and creating more inclusive communities.

Together, we’re helping create a world where everyone belongs.
