Our goal is to increase the participation rates in high school, two-year, and four-year college sports by 25% by 2032.

How we will accomplish this goal:

1. We will help schools and teams raise funds to ensure that their student-athletes have a great experience playing their chosen sport or sports. This includes having access to safe equipment and playing fields/gyms as well as having the latest gear and uniforms they can wear with pride.

2. We will provide coaches, athletic directors, boosters, and advancement administrators with expert guidance and advice that will help them raise the most money possible for their teams and schools.

3. We will work with our partners to spread the word about the many benefits of high school and college sports to ensure they are properly funded at the state and local level.
