Who we serveWe are dedicated to serving young people from diverse backgrounds, including those with developmental differences, individuals at risk of being lost in the system, those facing difficult circumstances, and other special needs.Community EngagementIn collaboration with various community organizations, we bring together young people from diverse backgrounds to learn, share, and have fun in a safe and respectful environment. Our extensive network of supporters includes the Buffalo Bills, Minnesota Vikings, NFL, local high schools, state, county, and local police, firefighters, first responders, volunteers, generous sponsors and donors, as well as Harrison’s teammates, both former and current. Through community engagement, we aim to create a supportive ecosystem that uplifts and empowers every child we serve. | Empowering Youth through MentorshipWe actively promote social inclusion, kindness (such as paying it forward), physical fitness, and healthy living. Our mentorship programs focus on instilling self-worth, respect for others, pride in oneself and one's community, and the importance of embracing both success and failure as integral parts of personal growth. We offer year-round programs and activities affording kids opportunities to play sports and share experiences they would likely not otherwise have. We help kids find courage, make new friends, be part of a team, increase their physical fitness, feel the joy and spirit of healthy competition, and that regardless of their different abilities, they can always find a way to help others. We give back to the community through our pay-it-forward initiatives. |
