who we are
Strikes For Kids is a 501(c)(3) national charitable organization. Since our inception in 2012, we have organized over 100 bowling, softball and golf events. Strikes For Kids partners with more than 125 NFL, NBA, MLB and MMA athletes to allow fans and their families the rare opportunity to mingle with professional athletes for an enjoyable afternoon/evening of fun while supporting a worthy cause at an affordable cost. Strikes For Kids also provides local businesses a unique opportunity to create a team building exercise while seeing their tax deductible donation impact lives.
Events are held nationally with the intent to empower and inspire the youth to achieve their goals and motivate them to become the leaders of tomorrow. We enrich the lives of students and youth organizations in the community in which these events are held, by partnering up with various organizations who reward children for their achievements in the community, classroom, and in sports.

our programs
bike giveaway program

These hardworking children are surprised with the bikes by the host athlete in addition to being treated to an evening of pizza and unlimited arcade games.
