Hi guys Im Chuck - Founder & volunteer for EmpowerThroughPlay - A non-profit program that collects new and used sneakers, cleats, and sports gear to benefit children in Refugee Camps and war-Torn countries. After successful mission trips to Kenya, Panama and Nigeria, I am excited to announce that we are gearing up for MI4 this November to The Dominican Republic.

I'm extra excited this time around because our program has grown and the impact we make will be even greater! This upcoming trip EmpowerThroughPlay will be tapping into the skills and knowledge of 7 Volunteers from all over the United States!

After seeing pictures and videos of our work online and social media, many people contacted us asking how they could help make an impact in the world as well. It was always my intention to share this experience and opportunity with others and I decided it was time to build a team and change the world!

It means so much to be able to share the opportunity to give back with others and empower others to donate to and work with the less fortunate.

We have the potential to make an even  bigger impact this time around and I need the support of my family and friends to carry it out..

I have already begun collecting sneakers and cleats and need help in getting them to the DR & Haiti and onto the feet of children in need! The more we raise, the more we  bring and brighten up young lives!
