What We Do?
We Level The Playing Field
At The ANNA Foundation we believe all children should have access to the most basic necessities for pursuing athletics...shoes, equipment, coaching, entrance fees, etc. The cost of a pair of sneakers alone for a growing person can deplete a budget for a week, a month or more. We believe that cost should not keep children from participating in athletics and pursuing their dreams.
Whether it’s cross country, track and field, basketball or weight training, most sports require some sort of basic equipment. Keeping up with young growing bodies season after season, sport after sport can put a financial strain on a budget, potentially preventing a young athlete from participating in any sport.
We feel that no child should be without the means to participate in and pursue their athletic goals, no matter how small the goal or how big the dream. The ANNA Foundation provides athletes with those means at no cost to the athlete. It’s as simple as that. Where there is a need, there is a way.
The ANNA Foundation will also provide other necessary equipment, coaching, entry fees and travel expenses, all to support the underprivileged youth athlete in pursuing the dream that might have otherwise been unattainable.
Across the nation, The ANNA Foundation matches athletes with shoes, equipment, coaching, athletic fees, and more. It’s time to build up the confidence of our youth and level the playing field for all of our young athletes.
