The Bresee Youth Center’s mission is to battle poverty by empowering youth and families in Los Angeles with the skills, resources, and relationships necessary to thrive. Bresee is located in Central Los Angeles and has been serving the community since 1982. The Youth Leadership Program is a leadership development program for high school students to serve the younger generation as community soccer coaches and mentors.

Pacsun continues to evolve its efforts to inspire positive development through philanthropy and fashion by incorporating cultural touch points relevant to its community, like sports, to further identify with consumers, as seen also through recent partnerships with The Rams and Formula 1.

Pacsun has already begun activating at BMO Stadium by partnering with creators and friends of Pacsun, as well as collaboratively with LAFC for engaging content across their social media platforms. Consumers should look out for more exciting news and events to come throughout the season.
