The U.S. Soccer Foundation and Nestlé ® Pure Life ® Water successfully concluded the fifth annual Passback Tour on October 8, 2011. From July to October, the 2011 Passback Tour provided soccer clinics and activities, emphasizing the importance of healthy living, to youth in underserved communities. As a way to highlight the significance of incorporating water into one’s daily routine, Nestlé ®Pure Life ® Water also supplied interactive hydration booths for families of the children that attended the soccer clinics.
