​Bring Me Home

Bring Me Home was founded in 2017 with a group of friends who had a goal to give kids from under served communities an opportunity to play sports.  We were aware that the access we had to athletics wasn't something that all kids had and we wanted to do something to help make a difference. 

Research shows that playing sports provides a range of physical, emotional and interpersonal benefits for kids including:
  • Self-confidence
  • Leadership
  • Sportsmanship
  • Teamwork
  • Motor skill development
  • Fitness
  • Better vision
  • Friendship
  • And fun!
