What CR8 The Future is about!
CR8 The Future (CREATE THE FUTURE) Foundation believes that team sports play a crucial role in helping children grow into healthy, confident adults. However, many families encounter financial obstacles that prevent them from providing uniforms, equipment, and the costs associated with participation. To address this issue, CR8 The Future Foundation, a 501c3 organization, proudly introduces a three-tiered grant program designed to empower individuals who aspire to engage in and excel in sports and in life. The three tiers are Opportunity, Teamwork, and Scholars.
🌟 Our Programs
Creating Access. Building Confidence. Changing Futures.
CR8 The Future exists to remove financial barriers and open doors for young athletes — especially those from military families and underserved communities. Our programs work together to support individual kids, teams, and students preparing for life beyond sports.
Explore our three core initiatives below.
🏅 The Opportunity Program
Support for Individual Athletes
The Opportunity Program ensures that any child up to age 18 with financial need can participate in the sport they love.
This comprehensive initiative provides:
Financial aid for registration fees
Support for essential equipment
Assistance with travel costs
Access to completely free sports camps
Special outreach to military families and underserved communities
The program launches in January 2026, with a strong early focus on Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, while remaining open to families throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania.
🤝 The TeamWork Program
Support for Teams, Coaches & Communities
The TeamWork Program strengthens youth sports from the ground up by supporting the teams that shape young athletes. Support may include:
Team equipment and training gear
Coach development resources
League or tournament registration support
Travel assistance for competitions
Priority support for teams serving military families or economically challenged communities
TeamWork empowers coaches and teams to create safe, positive, and competitive environments where kids can thrive.
🎓 The Scholars Program
Supporting Students Beyond the Game
The Scholars Program helps young athletes pursue their academic goals by providing scholarships to students from military families and underserved communities. This program is designed for students who have shown commitment, resilience, and leadership — both in sports and in the classroom.
The Scholars Program provides:
College scholarships for graduating seniors
Support for trade schools, certification programs, and career pathways
Priority consideration for students from military families
Recognition of students who embody teamwork, character, and perseverance
This program ensures that when the game ends, opportunities don’t.
