Chobani, the yogurt maker founded by Turkish-born entrepreneur Hamdi Ulukaya, has named 500 youth soccer clubs across the United States to receive support worth a total of $5 million under its Feed the Dream program, run with U.S. Soccer.
Each club will receive a $10,000 package, half in cash and half in equipment, which can be used for registration fees, travel costs or field maintenance. Clubs entered the program between April 1 and July 31, and the company says awards depend on final eligibility checks.

Chobani also committed $500,000 in scholarships to six youth clubs in its hometown communities, separately from the nationwide program.
Ulukaya, who moved to the United States from Erzincan, Türkiye, founded Chobani in New York in 2005 and is known for hiring refugees and for his philanthropic work.
