In just over a year, we have had the privilege of awarding more than 50 scholarships, ensuring that children in need have the opportunity to participate in organized sports regardless of financial barriers. We also made a generous contribution to the Boys & Girls Club, directly supporting their athletic programs through essential sports equipment and expanded opportunities for youth engagement. In addition, we have supported several local schools by providing playground equipment and contributed to local athletic foundations. Beyond these efforts, we continue to partner with organizations that share our mission of fostering healthy lifestyles, teamwork, and personal growth through sports.

Your generosity has made a tremendous difference in our lives by easing the financial burden and has allowed my grandson, Jaden, to continue pursuing what he truly loves, playing volleyball.
Jaden has been playing volleyball for the last 6-7 years, Through this sport, he has learned valuable life lessons in discipline, sportsmanship and teamwork. He also built great relationships with his current and past teammates as well as their families and coaches.Volleyball has not only shaped his character but also has given him a sense of purpose and joy. Jaden’s mother is currently in Texas, finishing nursing school, and I have had the honor of taking care of him during this time. I never miss a practice or a game- being there for him is something I really cherish. Even in the most competitive moments ,watching him play brings me peace and joy . Thank you again for your kindness and support. Because of Active Kids Alliance, Jaden continues to grow both as an athlete and a young man, and for that we are truly grateful."
