Every Kid Deserves to Play.

Leveling the Playing Field for Every Child

We cover the registration fees, gear, and equipment that keep kids on the sidelines — so every child gets the chance to join the team.

Our Mission

Money should never be the reason a kid sits out.

Charging Ahead for Children is dedicated to advocating for and providing financial assistance and resources to children lacking the means to participate in organized sports. No child should be kept off the field, court, or track because of financial circumstances beyond their control.

Our Values

What drives our work

Empowering a future where every child has equal access to organized sports, helping them develop confidence, character, and the life skills needed to thrive.

Opportunity

Every child deserves the chance to participate in sports regardless of financial circumstances.

Equity

We strive to remove financial barriers so all children have fair access to athletic opportunities.

Character Development

Sports teach discipline, teamwork, leadership, and resilience that benefit children throughout life.

Community

We believe communities grow stronger when children are supported, active, and engaged.

Empowerment

Through sports, children gain confidence, self-belief, and skills that help them succeed beyond the field.
