How we get kids in the game.

How Leave Your Mark Foundation turns support from donors, sponsors, and volunteers into opportunity for Cincinnati kids.

Program 01

Scholarships

Sports cost money: registration, training, travel, and gear. For a lot of families, that’s where the dream stops. Our scholarships cover the gap.

  • For students in grades 3 through 12
  • For families whose child qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch
  • Apply any time. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis
  • Our founder personally reviews each application

The Charter School League

Charter school students deserve the same game-day experience as anyone else. The CSL gives them a league of their own.

Leave Your Mark Foundation is the official nonprofit sponsor of the Charter School League. Games are held on Saturdays, with teams from charter schools across Cincinnati competing, growing, and building friendships through basketball.

The league is operated by Hoop Nerds, a separate organization. LYMF supports it as the league’s nonprofit sponsor.
