STRIVING TO UPLIFT FOUNDATION HAS MADE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT BY DONATING NUMEROUS GIFT CARDS TO YOUNG ATHLETES AT SEVERAL COMMUNITY PARKS. THE GIFT CARDS, PURCHASED FROM SPORTING GOOD STORES, ENABLE CHILDREN TO PURCHASE NECESSARY CLEATS, THERBY EASING THE FINANCIAL BURDEN ON PARENTS DURING THE BACK-TO-SCHOOL PERIOD. THROUGH THESE EFFORTS, THE FOUNDATION HAS CREATED OPPORTUNITIESFOR MANY YOUNG BOYS TO ENGAGE IN SPORTS, WHO MAY HAVE OTHERWISE BEEN UNABLE TO DO SO DUE TO LIMITED ACCESS TO EQUIPMENT.
