Between the rising costs of participating in private youth athletic activities and the budget constraints within public schools, it has become increasingly difficult for families to access needed support when funds aren’t available.

The impact of these constraints results in kids from low socioeconomic families being most susceptible to the machine pushing the false narrative around college athletics.

Participation Barriers

Over 90% of college athletes participated in additional sports activities outside of their high school, an opportunity that 42% of low SES families stated they couldn’t afford to provide.

Unfortunately, Money Matters

High school athletes from the bottom 20% of SES are three times LESS LIKELY to participate in college sports when compared to the top 20% of SES.

GET INVOLVED TODAY

100% of all online donations go directly towards funding programs, creation of resources and scholarship funds.
