Inter Campus USA, sponsored by Pirelli Tire North America, celebrated its launch in New York City.
Inter Campus was founded in 1997 by FC Internazionale Milan. The program uses soccer as an educational tool to help needy children between ages 6 and 13 have the “right to play.”
“Pirelli is proud to sponsor this and other Inter Campus programs around the world,” said Paolo Ferrari, CEO of Pirelli Tire North America. “We believe strongly in the power of sports for social change, and this is a great way to engage with our community.”
The program is present in 29 different countries. This is the first Inter Campus Program in the United States.
Sponsored by Pirelli, Inter Campus USA will be managed by the Youri Djorkaeff Foundation, an organization ran by former FC Internazionale and French soccer player.
