SPORTS HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE LIVESIt's more than just a game. Through sports, youth learn teamwork, fitness principles, responsibility, trust, resilience, humility, empathy, and how to belong to a community. It's proven that children who play sports experience life-long physical and mental health benefits, and are more successful academically and eventual careers.
We believe that every child deserves a chance to experience the full spectrum of what sports can offer. |
SHAREWAVES' MISSION IS TO ADVANCE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR EVERY CHILD TO EXPERIENCE THE LIFE-ENRICHING POWER OF SPORTS.
THE PROBLEMUnfortunately, several factors make it difficult for kids to participate in and stay engaged in sports. These factors include inadequate funding, lack of equipment, unqualified coaching, and degraded facilities.
We are deeply concerned about the inequalities that exist in the lives of children, particularly those living in high-risk environments with limited extra-curricular activities and no standard care options. The gap between the "haves" and "have-nots" is growing as low-income households struggle to find outlets to keep their children safe, occupied, and active. |
OFFERING WAVES OF SUPPORTThrough our programs, initiatives, and partnerships with organizations and people like you, we are working to build a community where every child has equitable access to physical activity, exercise, and high-quality sports engagement.
Thanks for being part of the team! |
