Think back this Giving Tuesday!

Remember the activities that shaped you and made you feel unstoppable.

THIS GIVING TUESDAY 2025

WE ASK YOU TO REMEMBER WHAT SPORT, ARTS OR RECREATIONAL ACTIVITY HELP SHAPE WHO YOU ARE….

Can you imagine what it means for a young person today to discover their passion - just as you had - with YOUR support?

Logan Mankins, former offensive lineman of the New England Patriots and recent nominee of the 2025 Pro Football Hall of Fame, spoke at our 2025 Inspiration Gala, of how the lessons of being on a team in his youth years shaped him. These lessons and his passion for football shaped WHO he is TODAY.

What was YOUR passion? What shaped who YOU are?

Your support can give a child the chance to discover their passion and gain lifelong lessons they might never experience without our funding.

IT GOES SO MUCH DEEPER THAN THE EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITY 

Pursuing new passions, developing new skills, making new friendships, learning how to win and lose, learning about hard work and accountability, and ultimately, at the heart of our mission, building confidence. 

Sometimes, all a child needs is an opportunity to do something that makes them believe in themselves. That is how self-confidence is built. That is how young children become successful adults. That is how no child gets left behind.

HELP US MEET THE DEMAND

Countless children are in urgent need of assistance, with demand reaching unprecedented levels. Fortunately, you hold the key to making a difference. Many families are finding themselves unable to afford organized activities for their children, while the simple joy of playing outside in the neighborhood has become increasingly rare. Shockingly, the average cost of an extracurricular program stands at a staggering $500! Your contribution, no matter the size, enables us to extend support to more local children in 2026.
