Donor Spotlight: Kate’s use of sports to resettle

Kate’s use of sports to resettle

For Kate, sports are more than an activity; they are a bridge to belonging.

When her family moved to the United States from England, youth sports played a powerful role in helping her children feel at home. Teams became communities, teammates became friends, and the field became a place where confidence, self-esteem, and connection could grow.

“When we moved to the US from England, sports were the one thing that helped shape my kids’ lives here. The importance of being welcomed onto a team, the friendships made, the development of self-confidence, self-esteem and inclusion in a community ensured they had a place to belong.”

“By supporting Every Kid Sports I know other kids get to feel that same sense of belonging and all it brings. I love knowing my donation makes a difference.”

Since 2022, Kate has contributed more than $4,500, helping remove financial barriers and open doors to play for kids from income-restricted families. Her consistent generosity ensures that more children can play, find their confidence, and discover a place where they belong.

Thank you, Kate, for being a champion of access, inclusion, and opportunity. Because of supporters like you, more kids get the chance to play today and thrive tomorrow.
