Life Sports Foundation

Our mission is to transform lives through sports.

At the Life Sports Foundation, our core belief is that sports have the transformative power to change lives. We are dedicated to uplifting individuals from all walks of life, including those in challenging circumstances such as foster care or those with physical disabilities. Our mission is to unlock the potential within each person through the universal language of sports.

We offer a gateway to a more fulfilling life by providing access to a variety of sports-related opportunities. This includes support for participation in endurance events, provision of specialized equipment, donation of running shoes, and assistance with training and competition. Our efforts go beyond the individual, as we collaborate with like-minded programs and non-profit organizations to amplify our impact, ensuring that everyone has the chance to experience the joy and benefits of sports.

The ethos of the Life Sports Foundation is built on the conviction that engaging in sports brings invaluable benefits such as improved health, the spirit of teamwork, and personal development. By fostering an environment of support and growth, we aim to not only enhance the lives of individuals but also to build stronger, healthier communities.

Your contribution, whether through fundraising or direct donations, fuels our mission. It enables us to reach more individuals in need, providing them with the resources to thrive in sports and in life. Together, we can continue to make a profound difference, showing that through sports, we can overcome obstacles and achieve greatness.

Life Sports Foundation Buys 400 Pairs of Top Quality Running Shoes for San Diego Foster Youth - Thank you to all who contributed to making this possible!

Running Shoes for Life & Fitness - Supporting San Diego Foster Youth -

Our goal to provide running shoes for San Diego Foster Youth in junior high and high school. Our founder was a foster mom herself, and knows firsthand the needs of foster youth and the lack of available funding for basic necessities and inclusive opportunities. With a new pair of running shoes, these kids can fit in better in school PE classes, join the track team, enjoy running events, or just get out and run or walk. These activities can boost self-confidence, make going to school easier, and improve mental/physical health.

We have plans to make our first shoe distribution of running shoes this Christmas season. We are also planning on putting on a running clinic and fun run for children at the Coronado Valentine's Day 10K / 5K/ and 1 mile run on Sunday, Feb. 4, 2024.

Our goal is to provide 200 pairs of shoes for these deserving kids by our February event.
