In our ongoing commitment to support our community and foster the growth of young talents, we are pleased to highlight the success of the Kidsport Charity Cup Season 13. This underscores our dedication to investing in grassroots sports, aligning with KingMakers continuous support and sponsorship for the Charity Cup. The event at Campos Mini Stadium on Lagos Island involved six orphanages in the football segment: **Street 2 School, SOS Isolo, SOS Owu, Project Friendship Initiative, Habitation of Hope, and Citadel of Grace.** This initiative provides these orphanages with an opportunity to actively participate in sports like Football, Ayo, Scrabble, and E-sports. By engaging these institutions, we are not only fostering a sense of community but also aiming to empower and uplift the young individuals from these orphanages.
The highlight of the day was the U-16 final, where the **Citadel of Grace Orphanage Home,** emerged victorious, securing a commanding 4-0 win over **Habitation of Hope Orphanage Home.** The U-15 category witnessed an intense battle, culminating in a 1-1 draw between Right 2 Smile Academy and The Future Academy. However, Right 2 Smile Academy clinched the title by triumphing 5-4 in the penalty shootouts. In the U-13 category, Right 2 Smile Academy once again demonstrated their prowess, defeating Varsity FA 1-0. As the primary sponsor, KingMakers awarded a grand prize of **1 million Naira** to the exceptional Citadel of Grace Orphanage Home. The deserving Habitation of Hope Orphanage Home received a commendable sum of **N500,000 Naira**. Additionally, every participating orphanage home was granted a cash prize of **N150,000 Naira.**
**Gossy Ukanwoke, Managing Director,** highlighted our commitment to finding and nurturing the talents of Nigerian children. The success of Season 13 confirms KingMakers dedication to supporting grassroots sports development. This aligns with our corporate values and our goal of making a lasting impact on the communities we serve. Our commitment goes beyond the tournament itself. We're eager to explore ways to help these young talents, making a lasting impact on the future of sports in Nigeria. Together, let's create a legacy of empowerment, inspiration, and lasting change.
