Sports Backers
During the past 33 years, Sports Backers, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, has developed programs and events that are designed to inspire people to live actively. We achieve this work by focusing on a network of collaborative partnerships with other organizations, businesses, local governments and faith based institutions. In order to have transformational change, we realize we can’t do it all alone, but rather we work to build a movement of change in our community to make active living the easy choice.
