dedicated in making a positive difference in our community’s most precious asset, our youth.
our goal
We aspire through the power of sport, to provide a “Practice Field” for life. Kids will learn to develop and hone critical life skills such as teamwork, leadership, self-confidence, discipline, and coping skills to handle and persevere through adversity not just in sports, but 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 which growth may 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 through the most difficult environments.
At the First Run Foundation, we realize 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 built upon Proverbs 31:8-9. “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; ensure justice for those being crushed. Yes, speak up for the poor and helpless, and see that they get justice.”
In doing so, we dream that one day our children and their children’s children can live in a world full of life’s greatest gift of all-love. A world where peace, unity, and diversity are celebrated and universally accepted, a place we could all be proud to call home.
— Our Vision
We understand that unfortunately, change cannot happen overnight. As a result we aim to be like water. Possessing the power to cut, mold and shape rock, not because of its sheer power nor strength, but its 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.
