dedicated in making a positive difference in our community’s most precious asset, our youth.
our goal
We aim to use the power of sports to create a practice field for life. Here, kids learn to develop and improve critical life skills such as teamwork, leadership, self-confidence, discipline, and coping skills. These skills help them handle and overcome adversity not just in sports, but also in the game of life.
Our Approach
— Our Mission
We aim to provide a voice for those who may feel voiceless and supply them the soil and foundation for growth to take place below the surface. At The First Run Foundation, we believe that each and every one of us was born with unlimited potential to persevere and grow even in the most difficult environments.
The First Run Foundation recognizes that while we may not have the power to change the world ourselves, we have the power to inspire the next generation. Nelson Mandela once said, “The future belongs to our youth.” Now more than ever, we must come together as one to lend a helping hand to uplift and inspire others. In the end, we are all just seeds trying to find a way to grow through the concrete.
— Our Moto
The First Run Foundation is based on Proverbs 31:8-9, which encourages us to speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves and ensure justice for those who are being oppressed. We aim for a future where our descendants can live in a world filled with love, peace, unity, and diversity – a world that is universally celebrated and accepted, a place we can all be proud to call home.
— Our Vision
We understand that change cannot happen overnight. As a result, we aim to be like water. We possess the power to cut, mold, and shape rock, not because of our sheer power or strength, but because of our relentless persistence, perseverance, and consistency. With that same unwavering belief, we too believe we have the power to shape and impact countless lives, with your help.
