Supporting children in need!

2013-03-18T13:22:00.004-07:00

Our mission to support children in need runs deep.

We are always looking for ways to fuel kids' dreams! From no child left hungry, to no child left without a ball or hula hoop on their playground, we strive to forward our lifework each and every day. It's here!... Support us in our 5th Annual Back to School Fundraiser and help us bring sporting equipment, supplies, clothing, sneakers, and basic food supplements to schools and families in need. We always welcome your support and genuinely thank you for assisting us!

Did you know, teachers have three times as much influence on students' academic development as the school they attend? It's true! Help us assist those teachers and children!

Thank you for your support!

~providing underprivileged children basic school supplies

and fundamental sports equipment~

As they embark on a new school year, thousands of our children will begin their day without the necessities to learn and aspire in fundamental reading, writing, and mathematics. Please put a pencil in a child’s hand. Get our kids moving; help give schools basic outdoor sports equipment. Let them know that learning is important and we care that they have the tools to grow.

A heartfelt thank you from the 3rd grade students who were touched by your generosity in supporting our back to school program. They each sent a hand made thank you with words like this..."Dear Kenny Irwin Jr. Foundation, We looked at your website. I liked that you gise (guys) talked about his life. Your son had great courage to be a race car driver. Thank you for the kardbord guys, they were kool. I liked taking my picher (picture) with Kenny. I'm sorry he had his accident. He's a good person. The Lord is very sad. He loved a good person. I just want to say one more time, thank you. Love, from your fans..."

As we have grown the organization, an opportunity to expand our outreach to underprivileged children has evolved. We remain offering the summer camp to at-risk youth, however we are also expanding to year round support of those same kids who need help. Our kick off was the Back to School event! Stay tuned as we gain momentum to assist children in need throughout the year!!
