About Us

  The 7 Strong Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving lives through access to sports. Our mission is to provide young people with meaningful opportunities to build character and develop essential life skills, including teamwork, confidence, and resilience. Research consistently demonstrates that youth who participate in sports are more likely to achieve positive long-term outcomes, with athletics serving as a proven pathway to active, healthy lifestyles.

​

  However, the cost of participation in youth sports continues to rise, creating significant barriers for low-income families. At the same time, many children are leaving sports by the age of 11—often due to financial constraints, limited access, or burnout.

​

  Founded in 2026, the 7 Strong Foundation was established to address these challenges and expand equitable access to youth athletics. Through our grant program, we provide financial assistance to families in need, helping to cover registration fees, equipment, and other related expenses. In addition, our education initiatives support coaches, parents, and athletes by promoting high-quality sports experiences. These programs emphasize effective motivation strategies, life skills development, and health and wellness practices, including injury prevention and the benefits of multi-sport participation.
