Our mission: To improve the lives of under-resourced youth in King, Pierce, and Snohomish counties by providing access to sports opportunities in their schools. We accept grant requests from middle and high schools in King, Pierce, and Snohomish counties in Washington State and will support both WIAA-sanctioned and club sports. Our goal is to ensure that kids have the chance to stay connected to their schools during out of school time through positive athletic experiences. The fact that school districts are slashing athletic budgets means kids are facing decreasing opportunities to engage in healthy out of school time experiences. Additionally the recent trend of charging kids “Pay to Play” fees has decreased opportunities while increasing barriers for many kids to participate in school sports. We want to help kids fill their out of school hours with healthy activity; we do this by helping school districts, schools, athletic directors, and coaches increase opportunities while removing financial barriers for student athletes.
