CHANGING THE GAME ONE CHILD AT A TIMECost is the number one barrier that prevents kids from participating in high-quality sports experiences. Our GameChanging Grants are designed to eliminate this obstacle and allow youth in Kansas City to fully experience the life-changing power of sports.
Through this program, ShareWaves distributes micro-grants directly to kids through their qualified community mentor, specifically for paying league fees, buying sports equipment, correct footwear, sports apparel, or covering the cost of special sports outings. |
