UNITING SPORT TO SUPPORT
There are few things that can inspire and unite us like sports.
Athletes from all backgrounds working together towards a common goal. Their unwavering dedication, resilience, and commitment to excellence serve as beacons of inspiration, often motivating others to do the same.
Fueled by shared values of determination, teamwork, and a desire to make a lasting impact, The Support Program was developed to unite professional athletes and their fans to support nonprofits.
The Support Program
Through our REPS framework, each participating organization gains:
Resources
Nonprofits receive vital resources to achieve their goals, such as grant funding and the support of a professional athlete and their fans.
Expertise
Our coaching staff works with nonprofits to tackle complex issues that extend beyond the fundamentals.
Peer Support
Nonprofits join a network of organizations working together to achieve their goals, while building meaningful, long-lasting relationships.
