In working with young people, it is obvious there is a sense of Hopelessness  permeating our existence, leading to all sorts of mental and medical consequences. With lives and jobs being lost, mass shootings and suicide statistics increasing in the younger population, bleak outlooks are on the rise. It is important for us to spread a message of hope.

“Sport is, and will always be, connected to art.”

Light the World with Hope! “It ups their self-esteem, it gives them the opportunity to learn something 

about the artistic part of sports and activities.”  ~~Sharon Cecil WDRB-TV Louisville, KY
