Hey there, friends, family, and fellow soccer fans! I’m beyond excited to share some big news about my son, Devin Ulmer, and his incredible journey as a young athlete. This summer, Devin has been given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to travel to Madrid, Spain, for Futbico—a renowned soccer program where he’ll train, compete, and grow alongside talented players from around the world. As a parent, I couldn’t be prouder of his dedication and passion for the sport. But I need your help to make this dream a reality!

A Game-Changing Opportunity

For those who don’t know, Futbico isn’t just any soccer camp—it’s a prestigious program that offers young athletes like Devin the chance to hone their skills, learn from top-notch coaches, and experience the global soccer culture in one of the sport’s most iconic cities, Madrid. This trip will not only challenge Devin to grow as a player but also as a person, exposing him to new perspectives and creating memories he’ll carry for a lifetime.

Devin has been pouring his heart into soccer for years—early morning practices, late-night drills in the backyard, and countless games where he’s given it his all. Seeing his hard work pay off with an opportunity like this feels like a dream come true. But as with any big opportunity, there’s a catch: the costs.

The Goal: $5,000 to Get Devin to Spain

The trip to Madrid comes with expenses—flights, accommodations, program fees, and other travel costs—that add up quickly. We’ve set a fundraising goal of $5,000 to help cover these expenses and ensure Devin can focus on what he loves most: playing soccer. That’s where you come in.

I’ve set up a campaign on GiveSendGo to rally support for Devin’s journey. Every donation, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to getting him on that plane to Spain. If you’re not in a position to donate, sharing the campaign with your own network or cheering Devin on with a kind word means just as much.

Why This Matters

Soccer isn’t just a game for Devin—it’s a passion, a teacher, and a community. It’s taught him discipline, teamwork, and resilience. This trip to Madrid isn’t just about improving his skills on the field; it’s about showing him that hard work and determination can open doors to incredible experiences. As his parent, I want to do everything I can to help him seize this moment.

But I can’t do it alone. It truly takes a village, and I’m reaching out to ours—our family, friends, and supporters—to help make this happen. Your generosity will not only help Devin get to Madrid but will also remind him that there’s a whole team of people rooting for him every step of the way.
