We started this foundation back in 2010, while I was still in college. On the paperwork that you have to fill out, they ask how much money you anticipate your foundation might raise. We had no idea what to write, because we had no idea what kind of response there would be to our efforts. We eventually came to the conclusion that if we could raise $100,000 with this foundation, we’d be over the moon. So we wrote down 100K. 

Fast forward 12 years later and thanks to the incredible generosity of family, friends, teammates, coaches, fans, volunteers and strangers alike, we have raised over $6.7 Million, donated to 770 schools in 39 states and helped tens of thousands of kids participate in after-school athletics to learn the values of teamwork, work ethic, discipline, leadership, commitment, etc. 

NONE of it would be possible without you and your generosity. So thank you, tonight’s cleats are for you and for all the kids across the country you’ve helped! 

Dream Big, Work Hard
