What We Do

We see how sports can instill confidence, independence, and resilience in young individuals, leading to not only athletic success but also academic achievement. Our organization is dedicated to empowering and supporting students throughout Maine, ensuring they have access to the resources and opportunities they need to pursue their passions and aspirations. By removing financial barriers and providing scholarships, running gear, and support, we aim to create a positive impact on the lives of young athletes, nurturing their growth and development both on and off the field.
