RJ’s Goals

We spoke with Dawn Saczynski from RJ's Goals, a foundation created in memory of Dawn's son RJ Giammattei, who passed away at 27. RJ's Goals aims to provide soccer balls to children, having donated to various organizations including the Brantford Soccer Club, Yale New Haven Children's Hospital, and New Haven Parks and Rec. Dawn shares that the foundation has grown through word of mouth and community outreach, and they are currently participating in Birdies for Charity. They also plan to collaborate with American Outlaws, a soccer fan group, for World Cup watch parties.
