Hello All,
As a former collegiate and professional athlete, and camp director, I’ve seen how powerful sports can be in shaping a child’s confidence, discipline, and sense of belonging. But I’ve also seen too many kids miss out, not because of a lack of interest or talent, but because their families couldn’t afford the rising costs of camps or equipment. That gap is what inspired me to start E3 Sports Foundation.
Nationwide, more than 1 in 3 children in low-income households don’t participate in organized sports. The Aspen Institute reports that only 23% of kids from families earning under $25,000 a year play sports regularly, compared to 43% from families earning over $100,000. That disparity doesn’t just limit play. It limits access to lifelong lessons, mentors, and opportunities.
E3 Sports Foundation exists to change that. Through camp scholarships and equipment support, we are working to ensure no child is left on the sidelines because of finances.
When you support our mission, you are investing in more than sports. You are helping shape confident, capable, and connected young people with the tools to succeed both on and off the field.
Thank you for believing in equity, access, and the power of sports.
