Andre’s Corner
In your corner, where champions are made.
Our mission is to support student athletes in need by removing financial barriers to youth sports participation. We recognize that financial hardship can arise from many situations – including limited income, medical expenses, time away from work due to illness, job loss, or other unexpected life events. Our focus is on ensuring no student is excluded from sports due to financial limitations. Common costs include registration and participation fees, appropriate footwear, uniforms, and practice gear.
We provide support that removes economic obstacles so a student athlete can survive by:
Providing new athletic shoes and sport-appropriate footwear
01
02
Essential clothing gear
03
Assistance with participation fees
every student athlete deserves a chance to step into their destiny.
When students are able to participate in athletics, the benefits ripple outward. For children and teens, access to athletic programs can be transformative.
Sports participation supports
01Physical Health
Regular physical activity contributes to health, coordination, and flexibility and reduces the risk of obesity and health related issues.
02Mental and Emotional Well-being
Team sports build self-esteem, discipline, resilience, and stress management. Physical activity is linked to reduced anxiety and depression.
03Social Skills & Academic Outcomes
Athletics foster teamwork, leadership, time management, and problem-solving.
When financial barriers stop participation, youth miss out of developing experiences that build lifelong success. Providing shoes and essential gear does more than equip an athlete; it restores opportunity, confidence, and belonging.
In Memory of
This work is inspired by the legacy of energy and passion embodied by Andre Green, Maggie’s son. In his memory, we strive to provide support to every young athlete for the chance to strive in the sports arena. Whether on the court as player, sidelines as a volunteer coach, or in the stands encouraging his family - Andre believed the power of encouragement, teamwork, and mentorship could make a difference.
“Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.” – 1 Thessalonians 5:11
