Our Mission

We are a dedicated non-profit organization committed to providing sports opportunities to qualifying families in Yakima and the surrounding counties through financial support. Our mission extends beyond sports, as we also aim to promote proper nutrition for an active and healthy lifestyle.

We believe that every child deserves the chance to participate in sports and experience the joy and growth it brings. Unfortunately, many children miss out on this opportunity due to financial constraints, leading to gaps in their developmental, physical, and social growth. This is where we step in.

Participation in organized sports offers numerous benefits for children and teens. It fosters physical health through exercise and provides psychological benefits through teamwork and collaboration. Engaging in sports can enhance physical coordination, fitness, and self-esteem while teaching vital life skills such as teamwork and self-discipline. These qualities are crucial for children as they navigate life's challenges and make positive choices.

Furthermore, sports play a key role in keeping our youth safe and engaged, steering them away from negative influences such as gangs and keeping them off the streets. Our organization is here to ensure that every child, regardless of their financial situation, has the opportunity to experience these invaluable benefits.
