This week’s Newsstand highlights inspiring acts of generosity and community support across the globe.

In a heartwarming act of generosity and community support, a group of young athletes in Nairobi, Kenya launched the “Kicks for Kids” campaign, collecting and distributing over 1,000 pairs of gently used athletic shoes to children in underserved communities. What began as a small initiative by a local soccer academy quickly gained momentum, drawing donations from across the globe and inspiring neighboring clubs to do the same. The campaign not only provided children with the gear needed to play sports safely but also fostered a sense of unity, empowerment, and hope—proving that even small acts of kindness can spark a global movement of compassion and change.

This week’s Newsstand spotlights powerful examples of sports-driven generosity and community impact. In Austin, the “Sports for All” program raised $150,000 to give low-income families free access to youth sports. In Los Angeles, the Dodgers Foundation’s “Healthy Homers” initiative brought in $1 million to support youth mental health. Locally, the Detroit Lions’ charity gala raised $250,000 for food banks and homelessness programs, while the Houston Astros Foundation donated the same amount to youth sports leagues, helping over 2,000 kids. See how you can join the movement and make a difference!
