The LA Galaxy, Herbalife, and A Place Called Home partnered to provide 1,500 backpacks for South LA students. Galaxy players and Herbalife volunteers handed out backpacks filled with school supplies. This marks the fifth consecutive year of the Joint Community Partnership Fund, which supports education, nutrition, wellness, and sports programs for underserved communities. The event highlights the power of community collaboration in promoting education and wellness for all.

Quest Global, a leading global product engineering services company, has announced a strategic partnership with the TSS Foundation to support underserved students through a comprehensive education and sports program. The six-year initiative, titled 'Empowering Futures through Sport and Education,' aims to provide quality education and professional football training to students from tribal and underserved communities in India.

Under this partnership, Quest Global will sponsor students from remote and underserved regions, supporting their educational journey at The Sports School (TSS) in Bengaluru. This support includes access to quality academics and professional football training, fostering holistic personal development. The structured football coaching curriculum at TSS is supported by the licensed youth coaches of Indian Super League team Bengaluru Football Club.

The initiative aligns with Quest Global's commitment to quality education and sustainable development, aiming to create long-term opportunities for marginalized communities. By integrating sports into its developmental efforts, the company is helping shape an impactful and emotionally resonant approach to community transformation.

Cheryl Rodness, Global Head of Brand at Quest Global, stated, "This collaboration is an extension of our purpose – engineering a brighter future. By integrating structured education with professional sports training, we support the holistic development of young students. We aim to create a meaningful, long-term impact by investing in India’s future."

UV Sankar, Director at TSS Foundation, added, "Our partnership with Quest Global, along with our long-standing collaboration with Bengaluru FC, allows us to deepen our impact. By combining academic access and sports mentorship, we aim to build confident, capable individuals who can shape their futures."

Darren Caldeira, Director of Football at Bengaluru FC, highlighted the collaboration's success, "Our collaboration with The Sports School has seen several young players come up the ranks and make it through to our Academy Teams, the Karnataka State Team, and even the National Team. We’re glad to be able to lend our expertise in football coaching and youth development in TSS’ efforts to further the sport in India."

By combining the strengths of education and sports, this initiative underscores Quest Global's vision of engineering to create a brighter, more equitable future.
