The Need:  One in four kids gets the recommended 20 minutes of vigorous activity every day.

The Benefit:  Youth who participate in sports enjoy a wide range of benefits, including greater academic success; more responsible behavior; confidence in one’s physical abilities and affinity for health and fitness; and strengthened social bonds with peers, adults, and institutions.

  • Outfit and equip nine players on an inner-city baseball team - $981
  • Start a family legacy by creating an endowment fund in your family name - $1,000 annually
