By Jetty Productions Team

At Jetty Productions, storytelling is at the heart of everything we do—but some stories hit even closer to home.

⚽ What Is Friends of Football?

Friends of Football is a nonprofit organization that collects and redistributes gently used soccer equipment to kids and communities that need it most. Through donation drives, school partnerships, and community outreach, they help ensure that cost or access is never a barrier to enjoying the game.

From cleats and shin guards to balls and full kits, every piece of gear helps unlock opportunity, inclusion, and joy.

🎥 How Jetty Productions Supports the Mission

As a creative partner, Jetty Productions works hand-in-hand with Friends of Football to provide:

Mission-driven video content for campaigns and social media
Event recap videos from donation drives and tournaments
Documentary-style storytelling to highlight the real impact of donations
Photography & digital assets for newsletters, grant applications, and presentations
Strategic marketing support to amplify fundraising and outreach efforts

We believe video doesn’t just raise awareness—it raises hearts, hands, and help. And in a mission like this, that can make all the difference.

👟 Why This Work Matters

Soccer is a universal language. Whether you're on a dusty field or a pristine pitch, the game builds confidence, character, and community. But for many kids, especially in underserved areas, access to gear is still a challenge.

Neilson’s role as a Director goes beyond creative leadership. He’s involved in:

Organizing collection bins at schools and local businesses
Coordinating pickup and delivery logistics for donations
Spearheading content campaigns that inspire giving
Building community partnerships to expand the mission
