✨ New Look, Same Mission: Rodman for Kids ✨ For 34 years, we’ve been empowering youth-focused nonprofits to build brighter futures. At this year's Celebration for Kids, we unveiled our new look and were reminded why we do what we do: the kids. Seeing their energy and excitement as they proudly walked the Celebration for Kids catwalk wearing our logo brought it all full circle. 💫 Our mission remains as strong as ever, grounded in these pillars: 1️⃣ Empowering nonprofit leaders through professional and leadership development. 2️⃣ Connecting them by offering opportunities for networking and collaboration. 3️⃣ Uplifting youth-focused charities by providing direct funding, as well as opportunities to raise more funds. These values drive our impact, empowering youth-focused charities across Massachusetts to build brighter futures for the kids and families they serve. This next chapter of Rodman for Kids reflects our evolution while staying true to our purpose. We’re here to empower, connect, and uplift those who dedicate their lives to making a difference. Join us on this journey and stay connected as we move into the next chapter of our incredible story: https://lnkd.in/eXNySEzW ✨ Together, we’ll continue building brighter tomorrows. ✨

“Golf’s future depends on bold action now. Minority golfers are disappearing from the pipeline between middle school and the pros. Without access to coaching, tournaments, and resources, talented players are left behind before they ever have a chance to compete at the highest levels. The impact? A game that fails to reflect the diversity of its players and fans. The United Golfers Association is fighting to change this, but we need you. By investing in young talent and breaking down barriers, we can ensure the next generation of golfers can rise, compete, and lead. Here’s how you can help: • Support our programs: Your donation helps fund coaching, scholarships, and tournament opportunities for young minority golfers. • Spread the word: Share this message to inspire others to join the movement. Visit https://lnkd.in/eg8tpEqq today. Together, we can create a more inclusive future for golf.”

I know that this information may shock and surprise you... but it's Giving Tuesday! Obviously there are an enormous amount of newsletters, posts and emails going out across all mediums of digital communication today sharing that very same exclamation, but I can't help but mention just how deserving Edgewater Castle Football Club is of your support. For the last 7 years, we have build an organic grassroots community soccer club on the foundational pillars of volunteerism, community engagement, creativity and sustainably accessible programming. Through our strong partnerships with civic and private organizations of like-minded values, we have been able to not only sustain ourselves, but grow dramatically year over year, all while not charging a single player a single cent to participate in any of these programs - from youth after-school soccer camps to our elite adult teams - none of our players pay to play. This means that every dollar we have ever received has gone directly toward providing more opportunities to more players in our neighborhoods. A large part of our success has been the support of individuals in our community and abroad who are willing to chip in and help. Our club is changing a great deal in the next few months (all for the better & more on that soon), yet our foundations and our values are set in stone, and the people who have helped build our castle - stone by stone - have had an enormously important hand in making that the case. If you'd like to contribute a donation to support our work, you can do so through the following link: "We are the Strength Against the Storm. We are the Rooks!" #GOROOKS 🌊 🏰 🙏

Studies show that a future high school, college or NFL player who starts tackle football at age five may have 10 times the odds of developing CTE than if he had started at 14. But this isn't just about football. Girls soccer experiences more concussions per capita than any other sport. Let's face it, all youth sports come with an inherent risk of head trauma. We don't want to stop youth sports, we want to make them safer. We want to #EndCTE because my grandchildren deserve to get the same benefits from participation in sports that I received, but with a lot less risk. With YOUR support @Concussionfoundation can grow its educational programs like Stop Hitting Kids in the Head. Our goal is to convince every sport, especially football, soccer, and rugby, to eliminate repetitive head impacts under age 14. Please consider supporting me in efforts to help #EndCTE for our future generations. Go to https://lnkd.in/eVRzhuUV to donate!
