Registration fees for youth sports are quickly escalating and can often reach $100 per season but are often higher. While many leagues offer assistance, the need is simply too great for many to absorb completely. The Jason Anderson Foundation for Youth Sports seeks to help all children participate in a sport of their choice but, due to family circumstances, may not have the funds available for this activity.
About The Jason Anderson Foundation for Youth Sports
Mission: To provide children in need the opportunity to participate in an organized local community sports program in order to gain valuable life experiences and the fitness benefits that come with participation in nationally recognized and community sponsored youth sports activities.
The Jason Anderson Foundation for Youth Sports, a 501c(3) tax exempt not-for-profit organization, was founded by the Anderson family after Jason tragically died in an automobile accident in January of 2015 at the age of 33. His last second actions saved the lives of his wife, Kati, and one year old son, Ryan. The outpouring of support for the family from friends, colleagues, co-workers, neighbors and gracious members of the community prompted the family and close friends to establish this foundation in Jason’s name as a way to give back to that community.
Since 2016 we have provided over $60,000 in grants and scholarships to local Delaware sports organizations giving nearly 750 kids the opportunity to participate in a sport.
