Code Four Athletics<\/a>, a Kent-based soccer specialty brand, is looking for your gently used soccer jerseys, soccer cleats, soccer balls and other gear as part of its inaugural Soccer Recycling Event.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The public can drop off donations from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Aug.5 at the company’s showroom, 22013 68th Ave. S in Kent, off West Valley Highway, less than five miles south of Starfire Sports. Look for the brand’s unmistakable Soccer Ball Car out front.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Everything collected during the drive will be given to Seattle’s Rainbow of Magnolia Fountains of Life<\/a>, a volunteer-run charitable organization that works tirelessly to improve living conditions in African countries by providing clean water and sanitation, sustainable agriculture techniques, and support for local schools.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The soccer gear will be distributed to the children of these remote villages, where soccer has become a much-needed escape to the rigors of their daily lives.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Darek Stuj, Fountains of Life founder, launched his nonprofit organization five years ago, when workers of his company, Rainbow of Magnolia Landscaping<\/a>, volunteered to donate a week’s wages to jumpstart his effort.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Stuj travels to Africa at his own expense, with a specific project planned. A YouTube video\u00a0chronicles his latest project from earlier this year.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

In January, he plans to help build an orphanage in the Imatiani village of Tanzania for children who have been orphaned due to the spread of HIV\/AIDS.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
