TheFOUNDATION
Kids in the Game
Founded in 2017, our Foundation was created as a
creative solution to bridging the opportunity gap for kids
growing up in New York City. What was originally created
to provide financial assistance to families has
blossomed into an organization that focuses on filling
the gaps in youth development. However, our
scholarship programs remain a core focus and we are
proud to have expanded on not only the dollar amount
provided in 2021, but also diversified our scholarship
programs.
In 2021, we provided close to $100,000 in scholarship
funds to our sports and summer programs as well as to
our newly formed Real MVP Scholarship and expanded
after-school fund. While alone, this number is something
to celebrate, we are equally proud of the additional
resources our Foundation has brought to our overall
organization. We ran our KING Hoops academic program
for the 4th year running, launched a Youth Leadership
Council focused on full circle feedback, and hosted a
National Girl and Woman in Sports Day event focusing on
equal gender opportunity.
Moving into 2022, our Foundation will continue to
examine, address and close the opportunity gaps that so
many of our kids face.
