OUR STORY
HOW IT 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.
THREE PILLARS OF IMPACT
HEALTH & WELLNESS
We believe that every person deserves an opportunity to improve themselves both mentally and physically. Projects such as our summits, community events, and athletic camps, are designed to provide individuals with the tools they need to succeed in both areas. Discover how we can help you or your community today.
MENTORSHIP
Our in-house programs provide professional athletes with the resources and support they need to succeed both on and off the field. Through our focus on financial literacy, professional development, education, and civic engagement, we are able to connect athletes with the tools they need to make a meaningful impact in their communities.
ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT
We believe in empowering youth through sports and the arts. As part of our arts and entertainment pillar, we collaborate with our partners to provide creative and professional development opportunities in the communities we serve, as well as for athletes who have an interest in arts programming.
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.

FOUNDER'S VISION
Founded by Ashley Danielle, A.B.C. Sports Foundation is driven by over a decade of industry experience and a passion for community engagement. Ashley Danielle's leadership, coupled with her commitment to education, positions A.B.C. at the intersection of sports, community development, and lasting impact.
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.
