Fuel a Student-Athlete's Journey
Athlete sponsorships go to the ESA Athlete Support Fund, which helps student-athletes cover the real costs of competing, training, and growing.
From the West Valley to Boise State
Last summer we took a group of our young athletes to a football camp at Boise State University. They got to train on a college field and came home seeing what's possible.
Camps and travel are where many families get priced out. A Game Changer gift of $500 helps cover training, camp fees, and travel so more athletes can take trips like this one.

How athlete sponsorship works: gifts go to the ESA Athlete Support Fund. ESA decides which athletes receive support, based on need and program guidelines, so that gifts stay tax-deductible. Sponsors may be matched with an athlete and receive updates during the season with the family's permission. We never share an athlete's personal information without a parent's consent.

Planning a gift over $10,000, or prefer to give by check? Contact us directly; we'd love to talk. In-kind partners welcome: businesses can contribute products, services, or space instead of a cash gift. Partner recognition includes your business name, logo, and contact information. Because partners receive benefits (such as shirts and banners), your receipt will list the value of any benefits received, as IRS rules require.
