NC Courage and First Horizon to build soccer exhibit at Marbles Kids Museum

The exhibit will occupy a dedicated area on the museum's second floor, designed to introduce children to the fundamentals of science and math through movement and play. Planning for the space begins in the coming weeks, serving as a hub for interactive learning adjacent to Moore Square.

Beyond the physical installation, the agreement includes a five-year commitment to year-round community programming. The museum plans to host an annual Courage Day in recognition of National Girls and Women in Sports Day, while the NWSL club will integrate into the museum's existing community events. Marbles Kids Museum CEO Jonathan Frederick noted that the exhibit responds to frequent requests from guests to incorporate soccer into the museum’s offerings.

This initiative marks a significant milestone for the NC Courage, which celebrates its tenth year in the Triangle in 2026. For the First Horizon Foundation, the project aligns with its long-standing focus on youth education and community development. The collaboration seeks to leverage the region's growing interest in professional soccer to foster local community connection.
