The Heads Up Sports Cathedral

With over 40 million in America and nearly one billion worldwide that participating on an annual

basis, the YOUTH Sports continues to be one of the most powerful platforms to impacting lives

and addressing the needs of public health.

Participation in sports by children and adolescents is associated with a range of documented

physical, emotional, social, educational, and other benefits that can last into adulthood.

Engaging children in sport and physical activity unleashes a virtuous cycle that bears myriad

rewards for individuals, families, and society. Lifting the number of youth who get and stay active

will save tens of billions of dollars in direct medical costs and economic productivity losses

alone.

But increasingly, many young people opt out of a sustained experience, while others are locked

out due to a lack of resources or access to community programs. Health and other needs go

unmet.

We've built a very powerful roadmap for the next generation The challenge now is to take this

roadmap literally on the road and impact as many communities as possible in terms of number

of kids engaged and improved health outcomes. We are seeking to win national grant funding

opportunities to scale our impact in the communities we serve and we are asking for your

support!

Please sign our petition to build a campus facility that will allow more access to the benefits of

sports and education as we groom the next generation of student-athletes for success on and off

the courts and playing fields. To sow a seed in our mission, Text 'HeadsUpYouth' to 77948 or

visit theheadsupfoundation.org to pledge your financial support of The Heads Up BridgeBuilders

Campaign as we aim to make Sports and & Higher Education (and its benefits!) more accessible

to thousands of underserved youth and families across the Greater Dallas metroplex area.

I have been busy meeting with potential partners to see how we can bring this campus to life. Your stories about why sports matter to your own families are the real fuel behind these conversations.
