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 with a unique opportunity to create a team-building exercise while seeing their tax-deductible donation impact lives.
Our organization's mission is to coordinate these events nationally that 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. These events are held by partnering with various organizations that reward the children for their hard work in the classroom, demonstrating great behavior, and excelling in sports.
