Donate to help children find their passions!

Hi, I am Henry, a member of the Incubator program at Lake Park High School. Students in this program start and operate their own businesses while still in high school. My teammates and I have created a charity named Active Beginnings, which seeks to provide athletic equipment to economically disadvantaged children in the DuPage County area at no cost. My three teammates and I are all either current or former athletes and can all attest to how athletics has impacted our lives for the better. Sports have taught us important life lessons like teamwork, perseverance, and dedication. As we move on from sports to start our own lives, we want to pass on our experiences to the next generation of athletes. Unfortunately, the continually increasing costs of sports have created significant financial barriers for many families whose children are interested in athletics, which is why we seek to provide equipment to these families, to lessen the burden of costs related to athletic activities because money should not be what stops children from pursuing their passions. Each donation is another step on the path to unlocking a child’s athletic ability and—more importantly—passion. If this donation goal is met, we will be able to outfit ten kids in our area with brand new soccer equipment. Join us by donating to Active Beginnings, where play meets possibility!
