CVS Pharmacy® Unveils Home Team Heroes Contest to Honor Young Soccer Champions
CVS Pharmacy®, a branch of CVS Health®, has announced an exciting initiative called the Home Team Heroes contest, aimed at recognizing the incredible contributions of young soccer players aged 7-15 within their communities. This nationwide contest not only emphasizes athletic skill but also highlights community spirit and leadership qualities among youth athletes. Nominations for this prestigious contest are now open, and the emphasis is firmly on those players who go above and beyond, making a difference both on and off the soccer field.
The Home Team Heroes contest represents a significant part of CVS Health's long-term commitment to supporting and enriching communities through soccer. The selected winners will not only receive applause for their on-field achievements but will also have their community impact stories showcased to a broader audience. The grand prize includes a generous $25,000 grant awarded to their nominated non-profit soccer organization. Furthermore, winners will be honored with the unique opportunity to feature on limited-edition packaging for select Well Market® snacks sold in CVS stores. This innovative initiative seeks to inspire even more players to engage positively with their surroundings.
In addition to the grand prize, the initiative also offers two runner-up winners a substantial grant of $10,000 for their respective non-profit soccer organizations. To add a fun twist to the celebration, a block party for the winning team will be hosted at a CVS Pharmacy location, creating an unforgettable experience for these young champions and their supporters.
"The Home Team Heroes contest exemplifies CVS Health's commitment to enhancing community well-being and celebrating those everyday heroes who make our communities stronger," shared Sid Tenneti, Senior Vice President and Interim President of Pharmacy and Consumer Wellness at CVS Health. Through this contest, CVS aims to tell the stories of young athletes who demonstrate leadership and service, underlining the idea that their positive influence extends far beyond the soccer pitch.
To further amplify the contest, CVS is teaming up with renowned personalities from the soccer world, including players from the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) and the U.S. national team. The collaboration includes notable figures such as Alex Morgan, a two-time Women's World Cup champion and an Olympic gold medalist. Morgan’s heartfelt message resonates deeply as she shares her own journey, emphasizing how soccer has played a crucial role in developing her confidence, leadership skills, and sense of belonging. "Soccer didn't start for me under stadium lights; it started on a local field… surrounded by coaches and teammates who believed in me. I understand the power of being a part of a team and the importance of community support," Morgan stated.
Parents or guardians can now nominate their young athletes by visiting CVSHomeTeamHeroes.com, with applications open until September 25, 2026. The nomination process involves filling out an online form and answering a few short questions about how the young players are making a difference in their communities through their actions and engagement in soccer. The entries will be assessed based on the nominees' documented community impact, service activities, mentorship, leadership in efforts like school clubs, and sportsperson-like behavior.
Winners will be selected and celebrated later this year, with their inspiring journeys highlighted through various CVS channels, showcasing how these soccer stars contribute to their communities.
