Play It Forward: Empower Youth Through Sports

We are a passionate team of college students, proud to partner with Metro Sports Fieldhouse, a nonprofit dedicated to breaking down barriers and opening doors for youth sports programs in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Through our GoFundMe campaign, we aim to raise $500 to empower young people in underserved communities like Arlington by providing them with access to sports camps, coaching, wellness events, and so much more.

The challenges of the past few years, especially the impact of COVID-19, disrupted youth sports on an unprecedented level. Participation among teens dropped by 13% in 2020, taking with it opportunities for joy, connection, and personal growth. At Metro Sports Fieldhouse, we believe sports are far more than a pastime—they are transformative. They help young people excel academically, nurture their mental and physical health, and teach essential life skills like resilience, teamwork, and perseverance.

With your support, we can eliminate the financial barriers that prevent children from experiencing these life-changing benefits. Every dollar raised will go directly toward essentials like registration fees, uniforms, nutritious meals during camps, and coaching. In addition, these funds will support mentorship programs, training, and career exploration, paving the way for young athletes to build strong foundations for their futures.

Our $500 goal may seem modest, but its impact is anything but small. This amount will empower 10–20 young athletes, providing them with athletic shoes and access to Metro Sports Fieldhouse’s mentoring and internship programs. Your support will help invest in coaching, equipment, and resources to ensure these children have the tools they need to pursue their dreams both on and off the field. By contributing, you’re not just funding sports—you’re nurturing confidence, leadership, and the resilience to overcome life’s challenges.

Our mission is simple yet powerful: every child deserves the chance to play, grow, and thrive. Sports are not just games; they are opportunities for children to discover their potential and become the leaders, teammates, and dreamers our world needs.

Join us in this mission. Whether through a donation, sharing our campaign, or attending our Greensgiving Game Night, you can help bring us closer to our $500 goal. Together, let’s ensure no child is left on the sidelines. Help us light a path to a brighter future—one child, one game, one dream at a time.
