The Kevin Huerter Foundation, Inc. is a private foundation as determined by the Internal Revenue Code and is a 501(c)(3) federal income tax-exempt organization created in 2022. Our mission is to ensure children of all abilities and economic backgrounds are afforded the positive impact sports have on physical, emotional and social development.
We understand that sports are more than just a physical activity; they are a crucial element in children's growth and development. Participating in sports not only promotes health and fitness but also strengthens emotional resilience, fosters teamwork, and cultivates leadership skills. Additionally, sports can be an essential platform for social interaction, helping children build strong friendships and improve their communication skills.
At the Kevin Huerter Foundation, we believe that every child, regardless of their physical abilities or socioeconomic circumstances, deserves the opportunity to experience these benefits. That's why we strive to dismantle the barriers that often prevent children with disabilities or underprivileged children from participating in sports. Through our various programs and initiatives, we aim to provide resources, support, and opportunities for children to engage in sports, ensuring they can enjoy a positive impact on their overall development.
Our work is centered around collaboration and community engagement. We partner with local sports clubs, schools, and other organizations, leveraging their resources and expertise to create inclusive sporting environments. Through these partnerships, we're able to broaden our reach and impact, providing more children with the chance to play, grow, and thrive through sports.
The Kevin Huerter Foundation envisions a world where all children have equal opportunities to discover their potential, develop their talents, and derive lifelong benefits through sports. We are committed to making this vision a reality, one child at a time.

“Growing up playing sports afforded me opportunities I want to pass along to today’s youth. I formed lifelong friendships. I was physically active. I was a part of something bigger than myself. I listened to coaches and had a goal to get better, and be better. I want to help kids realize the benefits of playing sports in a similar way. I strive to be a positive role model and want to mentor the next generation. The Kevin Huerter Foundation will create opportunities for kids of all backgrounds to engage in sports and create their own life experiences.”
