about
The purpose of our foundation is to help young talented athletes in Puerto Rico with little or no financial resources to have the opportunity to play their respected sport at a higher level. By creating this non-profit organization, we can give these young children the opportunity to compete in college sports; thus get a better education by way of improving their sport of choice. A lot of local athletes with tremendous talents are not given the opportunity to enhance their games because they don't have the resources to travel, get better coaching, and have the necessary exposure to get to the collegiate level in the United States.
