About Us
Give Kids Sports helps underserved children participate in quality youth sports programs that foster sportsmanship, confidence, discipline, teamwork and injury prevention.
The focus of the 501(c)(3) Orlando Orthopaedic Center Foundation, Give Kids Sports believes in providing resources to help get and keep kids in the game.
The Foundation also raises dollars for orthopaedic injury prevention, education and research.
We rely 100% on individual, corporate and local business donations. Once donations are received, the funds are directed to those families requiring assistance in paying for registration fees. A small portion is utilized for administration costs.
