20 Years and Beyond!
Our Scholarship Program exists to remove financial barriers that keep kids from discovering the joy of sport. At AKA SPORT, we believe that every child deserves the chance to play, learn, and grow—regardless of financial or societal barriers. Through community partnerships and generous donors, we’re building pathways for families in need to access quality programming year-round.
Our approach centers on Multi-Sport, Multi-Activity Variety, giving kids balanced opportunities to develop life skills, explore new interests, and find what truly inspires them. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, nearly 70% of kids stop playing sports by age 13—most often due to cost or lack of access. Our mission is to change that story by providing scholarships of all sizes, ensuring every child in our communities has the chance to move, play, and belong.

Help Us Keep Kids Active All Year Long
At AKA, we strive to keep kids active year round. Many times the kids and families that need us the most are those facing economic challenges. We have a vision that every child will have a fun and active program to participate in every day after school and in the summer. The impact is far beyond enjoyment and physical activity. Learn more about how our programs are benefitting youth and families every day. The donations we receive from individual donors, sponsors and grants allow us to expand our programs and reach even more communities every year. We hope you will consider a donation today!
