🎯 Making Sports Affordable for All

This nonprofit’s mission is simple but powerful: reduce the costs associated with youth sports, so that no child misses out due to money. From registration fees to gear expenses, the organization is stepping in to help families who might otherwise struggle to afford participation.

The first major efforts are already underway, with dozens of local children receiving full or partial financial support for joining community leagues.

🤝 Teaming Up with Local Programs

The organization has partnered with local youth sports leagues and plans to expand to more teams and sports over the coming months. Soccer is just the beginning — soon, support could include basketball, hockey, and more.

In addition to league fees, the nonprofit also aims to cover the cost of equipment, uniforms, and travel, ensuring kids have everything they need to play and compete confidently.

💬 Why It Matters

Sports are more than just a game — they build discipline, teamwork, leadership, and lifelong memories. But rising costs have made it harder for many families to keep their kids involved. This new initiative wants to change that, and it's already making a real difference in the Duluth community.
