OUR MISSION

The Positive Athlete Foundation helps student-athletes turn the character built through sports into lifelong leadership and success. We recognize, empower, and connect high-character student-athletes to resources and opportunities that prepare them to give back, succeed in the workforce, and lead with purpose in their communities.

OUR WHY

Every year, more than 10 million students play high school sports, building resilience, teamwork, leadership and discipline along the way.  But for 97% of them, that athletic journey ends at graduation. The Positive Athlete Foundation ensures those powerful lessons don’t get left on the field. Your support helps student-athletes apply the character they’ve built through sports to life beyond the game; becoming young people who give back, lead with integrity, and strengthen their schools, workplaces, and communities. When you give to the Positive Athlete Foundation, you’re not just supporting student-athletes, you’re investing in a generation of future leaders ready to make a lasting impact on the world around them.
