About Us

A Foundation Built for Impact

At Wear to Give™, we believe every jersey, hoodie, or hat should do more than just show team spirit — it should fuel opportunities. Our nonprofit is dedicated to empowering youth sports teams, clubs, and community organizations through custom apparel fundraising.

Our Mission

To help youth teams and nonprofits raise the funds they need through custom-designed gear, while giving back a portion of every sale to support future champions.

How It Works

We Create & Host the Store – Each organization gets its own custom apparel store.
Families & Fans Shop the Gear – Supporters can proudly wear items that represent their team or cause.
Funds Go Back to the Organization – A portion of every sale directly supports the group’s needs: equipment, travel, uniforms, and more.

Our Story

Wear to Give™ was founded by parents and youth coaches who saw firsthand how hard it can be to fundraise. After years of involvement in youth sports, we noticed that many companies were setting up team stores that looked helpful but ultimately only benefitted the vendor. While these stores placed no financial burden on the teams, they also provided no real return to the organizations — leaving companies to profit while teams struggled.

We knew there had to be a better way.
That’s why Wear to Give™ was born: to make fundraising meaningful by ensuring proceeds go back to the very athletes and organizations who need them most. Beyond team stores, we also invest in building our own fund to assist young athletes in need — because no child should be held back from pursuing their passion due to financial barriers.

But it’s not just about teams.
We’ve all known a young athlete — maybe a teammate, a neighbor, or even our own child — who had to step away from sports because of financial hardship. Whether it was the cost of uniforms, travel fees, or equipment, those barriers can be enough to hold a child back from pursuing something they love.

Through our Future Champions Fund™, Wear to Give™ is able to step in and sponsor individual athletes, helping them overcome those financial obstacles. From covering registration fees to providing essential gear, this fund exists to make sure no child has to give up on their passion due to financial strain.

Because when we invest in our athletes, we’re investing in stronger communities and future champions.

Why Youth Sports Matter

Youth sports change lives, and the numbers prove it.

Stronger Bodies & Minds: Kids in sports tend to be healthier — less weight concerns, stronger hearts and bones, and improved mental health with lower rates of stress, anxiety, and depression.
Better in School—and Beyond : Student-athletes get better grades, stay on track, and are far more likely to pursue college. One study showed 73% of female athletes and 59% of male athletes expect to graduate college, compared to lower rates for non-athletes.
Life Lessons That Never Quit: Sports teach teamwork, resilience, leadership, and time management — traits that last well beyond the game. Nearly 95% of Fortune 500 executives played high school sports.
A Lifetime of Movement: Children active in sports are 5–6× more likely to remain active as adults. Communities also save billions in healthcare and productivity costs when more kids play.

Why It Matters

When you purchase from a Wear to Give™ store, you’re not just buying apparel — you’re making an investment in young athletes and their dreams. Together, we’re building stronger teams, stronger communities, and future champions.
