SportOutlier Foundation is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) that fundraises to provide improved athletic opportunities for underserved youth using elite athletes as positive examples, and the integration of health and wellness education to defend against the threats of obesity and enhance amateur sport performance.
Mission:
SportOutlier describes an experience or individual who excels outside of normal sport performance and transforms athletic culture with exceptional style and character. The mission of SportOutlier Foundation is to raise financial support for underserved youth to become SportOutliers. The Foundation accesses elite athletes to demonstrate positive examples of how to “do it right”, professional health providers to offer valuable instruction, and the use of state-of-the-art facilities. Funding directly supports underserved youth who have a passion for sport but don’t have access or opportunity to experience organized sport due to financial limitations or lack of resources. Financial contributions are applied to the provision of educational presentations and athletic training camps that promote competency in health and wellness and successful athletic skills building to underserved community youth who demonstrate the passion for athletics yet lack the resources. Funding will also provide scholarships to amateur athletes in need, and support for academic and career development.
SportOutlier Foundation is dedicated to teaching competency in health (awareness, knowledge and skills) through mind-body skill development and invigorating athletic skills building. Elite and Olympic athletes collaborate with professional health providers to teach underserved youth to live and train healthy. Charity fundraisers like the Al Joyner Charity Golf Tournament invite athletes, celebrities and community leaders to support our need for improved health competency to defend against obesity and enhance amateur athletic performance. SportOutlier Foundation uses the proceeds from high-impact events like the Al Joyner Charity Golf Tournament to engage underserved youth with educational health and wellness programming and athletic skills building.
