SPORTS MATTER.
According to this infographic created by the Aspen Institute’s Project Play, active kids are more likely to excel in school, be successful at work, have less health issues, and have children who are also active. Sports are an important tool to keep kids active, yet fewer kids are playing and staying in the game.
SPORTS GRANT PROGram
The average family now spends almost $900 a year per youth athlete on sports.1 At such a high cost, low income families are being left behind. In fact, only 23% of kids ages 6-12 from families making less than $25,000 per year played a sport on a regular basis in 2019 compared to 34% in 2012. By comparison, 43% of kids from households making $100,000 or more played sports in 2019.2
We believe every kid who wants to play a sport should get to play a sport. Cost should not be a barrier to participation.
We aim to help those in need get in the game through our financial assistance grant program.
