“Every champion deserves a start — and we’re building that start together.”
To break barriers and build pathways for Black youth — creating equal access to elite training, education, and holistic wellness.
Led by Olympian D.C., this movement ensures every young athlete has the chance to rise — on the field, in the classroom, and in life.
This isn’t just about sport — it’s about building confidence, community, and opportunity.
Campaign Goal: To support 100 Black Youth through:
-
Safe and reliable transportation
-
Multi-sport training & development
-
Tutoring & academic mentorship
-
Nutrition & wellness programs
-
Therapy & mental health support
Campaign Vision
To empower a generation of Black youth with the resources, guidance, and belief they need to succeed — no matter their starting point.
Each contribution creates real access: safe rides to training, nutritious meals, mentorship, and opportunities that last a lifetime.

Why It Matters
Far too often, Black youth face systemic barriers that limit access to the same opportunities others receive.
This initiative — powered by Olympian Donna Clarke — flips that script by investing in talent, education, and well-being from the ground up.
Every child deserves a fair shot at greatness — and this campaign makes it possible.
