Why We’re Here?
To Help Our Youth Stay In The Game
Economic Status Means Many Kids Can’t Play
The fact is, there are very talented athletic young people who will never have an opportunity to showcase their talent and carve out a brighter future for themselves, because they simply can’t afford to participate in a sport
Sporting Experiences Improve Cognitive Skills
Research shows that access to high quality sports helps children develop and improve cognitive skills that they can leverage academically, as well as when they enter the workplace later in life.
Boosting Confidence & Addressing Mental Wellness
Playing sports help youth learn how to communicate and coordinate with others, cope with failure, rejection, and even successes. It also promotes self-esteem, goal setting, and leadership skills.
We Embrace Our Future
When We Embrace Our Youth
Our Mission
To empower our youth for personal, academic, and future workforce successes by providing opportunities that develop strong core values through sports, mentorship, leadership training, and financial assistance.
Our Vision
We strive to create an inclusive environment where youth are presented with opportunities to engage high quality sports through financial assistance, and where they can learn to embrace the concept of growth through hands-on coaching and personal development.
Our Goal
In the execution of our mission to help develop our youth mentally, academically, physically, and spiritually, our team will leverage all charitable contributions to achieve the goal of providing youth in our community with both used and new sports equipment.
