The 4th annual Make A Difference day was held at at Chukchansi Park in downtown Fresno.

The volunteer driven event brings kids from throughout the city to the park for a free youth soccer event.

Volunteers from various companies, including KSEE 24, helped out with a unique opportunity for kids.

Blong Xiong, Fresno Council Member: "Just get them to come out to our downtown stadium, Grizzlies stadium and experience downtown, but also to play in the professional setting. Hopefully they'll be inspired and motivate to get kids to think that maybe they can become professionals too."

A total of 10 fields were set up at Chukchansi Park for kids 6 and under, from Roosevelt Youth Soccer, Fresno Metro, Clovis Junior Soccer, and several independent teams.
