At Roster of Us, we believe sports have the power to shape lives. The friendships we make, the challenges we overcome, and the memories we carry with us often begin with something as simple as stepping onto a field or court for the first time.

But not everyone gets that opportunity.

For many young athletes, the cost of equipment, registration fees, and other expenses can stand in the way of participating in the sports they love. We believe financial circumstances shouldn't determine who gets the chance to play.

While Roster of Us is currently focused on sharing and preserving athletes' stories, our long-term goal is to help create more of them. As our community grows, we hope to develop charitable initiatives that provide direct financial support to young athletes and make sports more accessible.

Who We're Supporting

We're starting by encouraging our community to support Good Sports, a nonprofit organization that provides sporting equipment, footwear, and apparel to youth programs in under-resourced communities.

Good Sports works to remove financial barriers to participation, giving more children the opportunity to build friendships, develop confidence, and experience the lifelong benefits of sports.

If you'd like to support this mission, you can make a donation directly to Good Sports through their official website.

Your donation goes directly to Good Sports, not Roster of Us. Roster of Us is an independent storytelling platform and is not formally affiliated with Good Sports. We do not collect or process these donations.

Every athlete has a story. Help someone start theirs.
