About: Can sometimes provide sports equipment as-need, if items are available
Website info: http://www.cfmt.org/explore/initiatives/sportsfund/
There are lessons only sports can teach. Whether at the competitive level or just a recreational one, sports often provide positive and constructive after-school activities that can be a deciding factor in a student’s decision to stay in school. And they can promote and inspire active, healthy lifestyles and life-long habits among people of all ages, all races, and all backgrounds.
Unlike almost anything else in our communities, sports unites us through common ground, and unparalleled bridges of common language, passion and camaraderie between people who otherwise would have little to talk about.
We invite you to help us “think upstream” and to focus on prevention through sports.
Sports and team membership provide:
• A sense of belonging, self-esteem, hope, and the inspiration of coaches
• A source of activity particularly in those critical after-school hours; and
• A “hook” to attract kids to nonprofit programs also offering tutoring
Help give kids in our community a chance to compete in life. Join our team as we create The Sports Fund of The Community Foundation, a permanent endowed source of funding to ensure support for Middle Tennessee nonprofit organizations providing these opportunities.
To join the team, call us at 615-321-4939. Or, make a gift now. - See more at: http://www.cfmt.org/explore/initiatives/sportsfund/#sthash.rW5zSVhb.dpuf
