Mission Statement
Sports Games for Kids is a 501(c)3 charity focused on bringing the joy of professional and collegiate level sports to children facing hardships in their young lives. We aim to give a lasting special memory to children from foster care programs, children's hospitals and homeless shelters. By providing an all expenses paid trip to games in our service area, the kids are able to experience a sense of normalcy and fun, without the financial burden of such an event. The kids and their chaperones are provided with a free in-game meal, snacks, drinks and a souvenir t-shirt to remember the day by. They are led in cheers and are taught about the game by the Cincy Super Fan. Additional fun is planned according to the individual events (including: posters, costumes, pre-game fan parades and even player autographs).
About This Cause
Sports Games for Kids is a 501(c)3 charity focused on bringing the joy of professional and collegiate level sports to children facing hardships in their young lives. We aim to give a lasting special memory to children from foster care programs, children's hospitals and homeless shelters. By providing an all expenses paid trip to games in our service area, the kids are able to experience a sense of normalcy and fun, without the financial burden of such an event.

Additional fun is planned according to the individual events (including: posters, costumes, pre-game fan parades and even player autographs). According to https://www.teammarketing.com/, it costs upwards of $250 for a family of 4 to attend a Baseball game in Cincinnati (including tickets, parking, food and drinks and a souvenir hat). Many families, especially those paying heavy medical bills, those living in impoverished conditions, or foster parents who care for multiple children, could not afford such an event. By providing our services to these families, the kids are able to have that special memory of the first time they entered the stadium to see their home team play. Our board consists entirely of volunteers, so that there are no administration costs associated with our charity. We work tirelessly to find ways of saving money on events so that every dollar raised goes further to helping bring this joy to as many children as possible. Fundraisers are held at little to no cost by finding local businesses, sponsors and outside groups which share our values who hold these fundraisers on our behalf, or that host the events free of charge to us. It is our firm belief that every effort should be made to keep donations focused on the programs we provide.
