SPORTS CHANGE LIVES
We believe that sports change lives. In addition to physical and mental health benefits, sports have the power to change our perspectives, our character, and our communities for the better. This belief has guided DICKS Sporting Goods and The DICKS Sporting Goods Foundation since the beginning but not everyone has the same access to play. Through grants and other support, The DICKS Foundation helps under-resourced 501c3 organizations, schools, and community teams across all 50 states provide opportunities for youth to play sports.
More information about the Sports Matter foundation can be found here: https://www.sportsmatter.org/.
