OUR MISSION
At ABC Sports Foundation, our mission is to cultivate the holistic development of athletes at all stages of their journey -- from aspiring athletes to seasoned professionals and beyond -- by providing comprehensive support in nonprofit management, event management, and personal growth. We are dedicated to empowering athletes to make a lasting impact in their communities through strategic guidance, innovative programming, and purposeful support.
HOW IT ALL STARTED
At A.B.C. Sports Foundation, our journey began in 2019 with a vision to bridge gaps and empower athletes to be catalysts for positive change in their communities. As a Nashville-based non-profit, we've evolved into a nationwide force, impacting the lives of youth and
families through strategic initiatives that focus on health & wellness, mentorship, and arts & entertainment. Our three-pronged partnership model with athletes, businesses, and community organizations involves building relationships, connecting athletes with local non-profits, and providing grants and donations to athlete-founded organizations and organizations with sports initiatives.
OUR APPROACH
Health & Wellness
We prioritize the mental and physical well-being of our athletes and community members through summits, athletic camps, and health-focused events.
Mentorship
We facilitate mentorship programs that connect athletes with experts in financial literacy, professional development, education, and civic engagement, leveraging the power of sports to build strong, supportive networks.
Arts & Entertainment
We collaborate with partners to offer creative and professional development opportunities, enriching the lives of athletes and community members who have a passion for the arts.
NATIONAL IMPACT
Since our inception, A.B.C. Sports Foundation has served 30+ athletes and partnered with notable athlete-founded organizations such as the Chris Hope Foundation, the Joique Bell Foundation, and Change Our Future. Collaborative partnerships with organizations like KultureCity, a3 Athletics and Transformation Life Center underscore our commitment to nationwide impact.
ACHIEVEMENTS
FOUNDER'S VISION
I saw a need to provide assistance and resources to current and former athletes who wanted to impact their communities but didn't know how. Each year, we challenge athletes to do more. In the same fashion, they challenge the foundation's creativity and growth.
