Aarav Guha Sarkar (RV)

Founder & Global Operations

I am a junior at Steinbrenner High School and a passionate MLSNext soccer player with over a decade of experience. Soccer has taught me discipline, resilience, and teamwork.

Through my journey, I saw how many talented players lack access to basic equipment and opportunities, especially in regions like India and parts of Africa. That inspired me to start Cleats4Cause, an initiative dedicated to providing soccer gear to underprivileged communities—because talent is universal, but opportunity is not.

Aryan Patel

Regional Director of Operations (North Tampa)

My name is Aryan Patel and I am thrilled to be apart of Cleats4Cause. I have been playing sports my whole life and making a positive impact in the sports community is something that I greatly enjoy.

Ishaan Patel

Regional Director of Operations (South Tampa)

I am Ishaan Patel, a junior at Sunlake High School. Sports has been one of my passions ever since I started playing at 2 years old. Playing sports has taught me teamwork, discipline, and confidence, and I believe every child should have the chance to experience it for themselves. This is why I am proud to make a difference through Cleats4Cause.

Hudson Thompson

Director of Baseball Operations

I am Hudson Thompson, a junior who plays baseball at Steinbrenner High School. My passion for the game has inspired me to give back to my community by providing cleats to underprivileged children so that they have the necessary footwear to compete in the sports they love. I’m beyond ecstatic for this opportunity to work with Cleats4Cause as I strive to make a lasting impact in these kids’ lives and give them the same joy that sports have given me.

Brady Griffin

Marketing & Brand Strategy Director

 I am a junior at Steinbrenner high school. I played soccer at the Rangers for 9 years. I was blessed to have the opportunity to play soccer and through Cleats4Cause I can help kids who want to play but don’t have an opportunity.
