UpLift Athletes


Our mission as a non-profit is simple: to help athletes succeed. From student-athletes to professionals, our community-supported program helps keep them on the field and focused on positive results. Through long-term athletic development, personal training, and athlete pathway travel grants, Uplift Athletes believes in providing equal opportunity for everyone. 

UpLift Athletes was created out of a life long passion for sports. I grew up playing several sports: soccer, track & field, swimming, Olympic weightlifting, cross country, snowboarding, the list goes on... 

Playing and participating in sports was life-changing for me. I learned so many values that directly translates to my adult life. Lessons like sportsmanship, determination, striving for success, and that you don't always have to like your leader to be able to learn from them.

Now that I have kids of my own that participate in sports, I found there is a huge need in the athletic and fitness community: financial assistance. Many parents I know struggle to pay for registration fees, uniforms, equipment, and even at the higher levels, such as travel expenses. 

My goal is to offset those expenses and create an opportunity for athletes to find that same love for their sports. No family should struggle financially to allow their child to participate in any athletic endeavor. Your donation will go to help fund one of our three tiers of assistance. 

UpLift Athletes offers athletes three tiers of assistance: 

Bronze: registration fees, membership fees, and other sports-related costs

Silver: training programs, equipment needs, and event fees.

Gold: travel grants, elite training programs, and professional support.
