The Why…
Disparity Between Communities
Hundreds of youth-serving programs in Chicago are extremely under-funded for athletics, leaving kids sidelined for sports and physical fitness.
How it works…
Partnership
Creating relationships with directors and coaches to determine what resources are needed to start programs, get more kids in the game and safely compete at a higher level.
Access (or Share) Resources
Sourcing partners like Play it Again Sports and Champro Sports as well as funders/donors make it possible for us to fill wish lists and sponsor transportation, coaching and facility costs.
Play Ball
Thousands of kids play and enjoy the lifelong benefits of sports!
