With most of the country continuing to engage in social distancing, we are seeing more and more organizations releasing resources to help engage the kids that are stuck at home.
Athletes and teams continue to step up to provide important resources and the sports philanthropy community proves our adage that #SportsPhilanthropyNeverSleeps.
We encourage you to join our Webinars each week. We hope this forum will create a supportive environment for everyone in our Network and beyond.
Listening to our audience, we have launched several initiatives that we believe will be helpful and will provide content and training to our Members.
Check out our resource page which has lessons, tips, ideas and links to organizations that are offering free resources and free consultations to help through this difficult time. We hope you take advantage of these resources!
