The next year, he joined South Bronx United where he benefited from the academic and college prep programming, found a support network, and could pursue his love of soccer. He starred as a defender on both the SBU Boys Under-19 and Men's soccer teams, while showing immense growth and determination in the classroom. His senior year, he received the SBU Academy Club Spirit Award for Commitment. Watch Soccer for Social Change: SBU’s 2022 Alumni Honoree Ronny Delgado to hear more of his story!

South Bronx United's 2022 #PowerOf11 campaign launches on June 1! In our kickoff video, Dania, Chikis, and Franco talk about the joy, the motivation, and the sense of belonging that they find in family and in the relationships with their coaches, mentors, and teammates at SBU. Through SBU's academic support, immigration legal services, mentoring, and soccer programs, these student-athletes and their families find a pathway to the schools, careers, and opportunities that they aspire to; and they find a family that is committed to their success. The #PowerOf11 is that commitment, and from June 1-11 we are celebrating by sharing stories about the families at SBU and all that they achieve together.
