The Chase Challenge Kindness Ball Tour
2022-08-07 | MA
One Ball. Fifty States. Countless Acts of Kindness.
The Team CHASE Foundation proudly presents The Chase Challenge Kindness Ball Tour, a powerful and heartfelt journey designed to spread Chase Soares’s legacy of kindness across the United States—one pass and one act at a time.
With a simple basketball as its symbol and kindness as its mission, this tour is creating ripples of hope from city to city, state to state.
What is the Kindness Ball Tour?
At the heart of the tour is a special Kindness Ball passed from one person to the next, across towns, schools, and communities. Each recipient is challenged to complete an act of kindness before passing it on—and to share their impact by scanning the QR code on the ball.
Each stop is tracked and documented, building a map of kindness in real time. From Massachusetts to Georgia and beyond, Chase’s message is moving forward—literally.
States Visited So Far:
As illustrated in the map, the Kindness Ball has already reached and impacted lives in:

…and it’s just getting started.
“Together Everyone Achieves More. Care. Help. And. Share. Everyday.”
— The CHASE in TEAM CHASE

Team CHASE Foundation Launch Party
2022-05-15 12:00 - 15:00 (America/New_York) | Falmouth Heights Basketball Court, MA, United States
The Team CHASE Foundation will hold a launch party on Sunday, May 15, from noon to 3 PM. Team CHASE is a nonprofit organization founded by the family of Chase Soares, who was killed in an automobile accident in 2020.
The son of Brooke and Norman DeBarros, Chase was a 2014 graduate of Falmouth High School. A varsity basketball player at FHS, his greatest passion was basketball. Chase was a role model both on and off the court to aspiring athletes, as a volunteer coach to Falmouth youth, and as a pen pal to Morse Pond School students. Chase embodied kindness, possessing an emotional intelligence beyond his years from a very young age. He was also an artist who expressed his highly evolved spiritual nature in his artwork.
Team CHASE aims to give back to the community both locally and beyond in multiple ways, such as scholarships and funding for youth athletic and educational initiatives for underserved communities.
