OUR MISSION
At the Key City Athletics Foundation we provide affordable, high-quality youth sports programs while fostering community service and leadership development among participants.
Our team is dedicated to this mission, working diligently to raise money through donations, fundraising events, grants, charity races, adult leagues, and much more!
The money we raise will go towards Foundation Athletes' equipment, travel expenses, tournament fees, apparel, coaching stipends, insurance, facility/field rentals, referees, training programs, and much more.
OUR VISION
"Bridging the opportunity and cultural gap in youth sports."
We believe every child should have the chance to play sports, no matter their background. Our Foundation envisions a future where youth sports, community building, and charitable giving come together to offer competitive sports at no cost. Through mentorship, we guide athletes in service, leadership, and character development.
Our goal is to give all kids a chance to develop life skills like teamwork, leadership, and building strong character. While some may pursue college or professional play, our focus is on helping all grow, regardless of their athletic aspirations. Too many potential athletes and future leaders miss these opportunities due to financial or cultural barriers, and we are here to change that!
So what does the future look like for us?
- Athletes gain life skills through community service, leadership training, annual camps, charisma-building, life lessons, and multi-discipline athletics.
- State-of-the-art facilities host camps, tournaments, events, and strength and conditioning programs.
- College internships offer a diverse, hands-on work experience before graduation.
- Charity races let participants run for our cause or another of their choice, with 20% of proceeds donated.
- Career opportunities for professionals in IT, HR, event planning, business relations, finance, coaching, marketing, and more.
- Competitive benefits and training packages equip employees to excel in their roles.
- Volunteer opportunities for those eager to give back outside their daily routines.
- A growing network of business partners supports our mission.
- Foundation athletes experience multiple sports and cultures, avoiding single-sport specialization until ages 12–14, with options to specialize in high school.
And most importantly... a massive list of alumni/ambassadors that came through our foundation, who are now some of the biggest contributors to society.
The Foundation's Creed
All members of our organization are expected to live this creed every day. This is what sets us apart from everyone else. Our foundation is built upon the words below. Our creed represents giving, being selfless, positively contributing to society, striving for excellence, maximizing your potential, taking control of your life, manifesting greatness, and removing fear of failure.
I may not be able now, but I will never say I can't.
Life is not about where you are. It is about where you are going.
I will challenge myself every day, because I know I must strive for growth and the ability to grow others.
I will not give up.
I will not run from my fears, and I will fear no man.
I will push through pain because this is my game.
I commit myself to excellence, and I commit myself to this team.
The universe owes me nothing, but I owe it everything.
There are those that have little, but give it all.
I will not give only to be recognized. I will give everything I have, even when others are not looking.
When I give myself, that is when I truly give.
I create victory, I conquer, and I hold the power.
I will build my foundation...
