<div>I’m Osiris Carroll, founder of The DDR Foundation (currently developing as a nonprofit organization) — a movement built on Drive, Determination, and Resilience (DDR).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This fall, we officially launched our first DDR Academy inside Perspectives Charter School (IIT Math &amp; Science Academy) — empowering students through mentorship, leadership, and the lifelong sport of tennis.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now, we’re expanding that impact with the first-ever DDR Youth Summit on December 7th, 2025, hosted at the Wilson Flagship Store in Chicago.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This event will bring together youth from across the city for a day of sports, creativity, and community — a celebration of motion, resilience, and purpose.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’re raising funds to create 200+ DDR “Motion Kits” — backpacks filled with essentials and motivation to help every student Stay in Motion – Rise Again.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Each Motion Kit includes:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A DDR-branded backpack
</div>
<div>DDR T-shirt or wristband
</div>
<div>Wilson low-compression tennis ball (symbol of motion)
</div>
<div>Motivation card featuring “Stay in Motion – Rise Again”
</div>
<div>✏️ School supplies (notebook, pens, highlighter)
</div>
<div>DDR Rose Pendant (symbol of resilience and growth)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every item carries meaning — representing learning, motion, and perseverance.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donation directly supports the creation and distribution of these kits for youth attending the Summit and future DDR Academy students at schools like Perspectives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Whether you give $10 or $100, your support helps equip the next generation with the Drive, Determination, and Resilience to rise again.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Stay in Motion. Rise Again.
