| S4TK operates a large warehouse in Lake Mary, where we collect and distribute sports gear to children in need. Community members and S4TK Clubs in high schools host collection drives, gathering all types of athletic gear—balls, bikes, cleats, and more! These donations are then distributed at our GEAR UP events, where volunteers not only earn community service hours but also have the meaningful opportunity to connect with the kids they are helping. Our warehouse is open for donations and distributions every Thursday from 7-8 PM at 239 Rinehart Road. |

S4TK provides scholarships to local kids who can’t afford sports registration fees, ensuring they have the chance to be part of a team. Each year, our annual charity golf tournament raises the funds to help over 200 children experience the benefits of sports, with the money going directly to programs so kids can play. We also offer S4TK Special Scholarships, created in honor or memory of a special person, supporting dedicated athletes each year. For just $100, you can help a child join a team and enjoy the life-changing benefits of sports. |

We don’t just provide scholarships—we empower young athletes with the tools to succeed on and off the field. Our G4TK program focuses on five key areas: nutrition, sportsmanship, education, mental health, and conditioning. Each season, we present this program to our scholarship athletes, helping them build a strong foundation for a healthy lifestyle. The program lasts just two hours, but the lessons last a lifetime. We’re always looking for dynamic guest speakers to share their knowledge and inspire our athletes. Sign up below to be on the G4TK list! |

Your story can be the encouragement they need to keep going. If you want to make a difference and inspire the next generation, sign up below to be an Ambassador! |

Sports 4 the Kids Clubs give students the opportunity to be involved with the charity and support its mission while earning community service hours and gaining leadership experience. Members can take on projects they’re passionate about, such as fundraising, organizing equipment drives, or promoting wellness programs, all while making a real impact. Every member gets a role, whether it's photography, data management, social media content creation, or another area of interest. Students can also continue their involvement through an S4TK virtual internship, allowing them to stay connected and support the mission wherever they are. Join or start an S4TK Club! |

If you run a local youth sports league, program, or recreational activity in Seminole, Orange, or Volusia counties, including martial arts, cheer, dance, or any other sport, and are interested in partnering with Sports 4 the Kids, we would love to work together to offer your program to the kids we support. The whole team will be invited to participate in the Goals 4 the Kids wellness program. By partnering with S4TK, you can help make a positive impact on families across our counties. Your support can open doors for many young athletes, giving kids who think they can’t afford it the chance to be part of a team and stay active, which is essential for their health and development. |

S4TK has a variety of ways you can get involved. Adults are needed at the warehouse to help with Gear Up events, as volunteers under 18 cannot be there alone. We also need volunteers for our annual golf tournament held on the first Monday of December! If you’re interested in supporting remotely, we’re looking for virtual volunteers to assist with communications and outreach. Students can also join or start an S4TK Club or Internship to access more volunteer opportunities. We are also looking for a Program Coordinator for each sport to help maintain communication with the teams where our scholarship recipients play. Your support will help keep everything running! |

Everyone deserves a chance to play! |
