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.
