who we are
Strikes For Kids is a 501c(3) national charitable organization founded in 2012 with a single aim — helping kids around the country. So how do we do it? We’ve organized over 100 bowling, softball, and golf events with extraordinary partners. Over 125 NFL, NBA, MLB and MMA athletes have joined our efforts and spent a unique afternoon with their young fans and families in a rare and memorable experience while supporting a worthy cause. Helping those who need it the most by giving away backpacks, toys, and scholarships during the life-changing and motivational experience.
Strikes For Kids’ events are held nationally with the help of leading sports organizations and communities to reward local student-athletes ranging from the ages 6-13 for their athletic and academic successes. One day at a time, we’re empowering and inspiring the youth to become the leaders of tomorrow.
How to be part of our effort? Local businesses and individuals can help us keep doing what we do with tax-deductible donations and many other ways of actively getting involved. Reach out!
