Athletic Bridges

Sport has the power to change the world...it has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair. It is more powerful than government in breaking down racial barriers.

-Nelson Mandela


The purpose of this non-profit is twofold:

  • To gather stories of how sports, fitness, or other athletic endeavors impact people from various cultural backgrounds. It is important to understand the unique experiences, opportunities, and barriers that exist for people from various backgrounds. Our goal is to help understand how sports can serve as a bridge to understanding and respect between people of diverse backgrounds.

    • We'd like to gather stories of how sports have helped you connect with and better understand people from other cultures or backgrounds.

    • Alternatively, you can share stories of where sports fell short of the goal of bringing people together.

    • Please click on this link to tell us your story, or click on "Tell Us Your Story!" above.

  • To help raise funds for athletic equipment for at-risk and low-income youth - please see our gofundme page !
