Mission
The Sandlot Children's Charity provides financial assistance for kids with physical and intellectual disabilities, specifically for those who are in pursuit of athletic opportunities and sport specific experiences. Our goal is to not only deliver enjoyable activities, but to also promote the continued development of social and leadership skills for these inspiring youth.
Needs
Two years ago, The Sandlot Children's Charity launched a grant program. The purpose of our grant program is to provide monetary support to individuals who have a physical or intellectual disability or organizations that serve and help those with physical and intellectual disabilities. Individuals must be active in a sport or an organization must show a priority in coaching or sports.
