Katie’s Save Foundation, created in honor of Stanford University soccer captain Katie Meyer

NAPLES, FL, UNITED STATES, April 3, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Naples Soccer Academy (NSA) is a club-neutral 501(c)3 non-profit, dedicated solely to advancing female youth soccer training and development in Southwest Florida. (EIN-99-2663889), has joined more than four dozen organizations in donating towards the Katie’s Save Foundation, created in honor of Stanford University soccer captain Katie Meyer, whose tragic passing in 2022 sparked a national conversation about the mental health needs of athletes navigating academic and competitive pressures.

“At Naples Soccer Academy, we are committed to building more than just skilled soccer players,” said Jason Gruner, Executive Director of NSA. “Our athletes come to us from all over Southwest Florida, and NSA endeavors to provide a player-centric environment that places our athletes first — one that prioritizes physical and mental health both on and off the pitch.”

About:
