The Found-ation

The Hambino Foundation was founded to support young athletes and youth sports organizations in underserved communities throughout the United States. In some places, access to safe sporting facilities and equipment is hard to come by.

Every item you purchase directly expands The Hambino Foundation’s power to serve under-resourced communities.

Organized sport is a vital part of a child’s development.

Through sports, we learn how to be an active part of a community, grow self-confidence, and work collectively towards a shared goal. In short, sports help young people thrive.

How The Hambino Foundation gives back

Co-founded in 2022 by Team Hambino

(Patrick & Jasmin Renna, Jessie Willner, and their partners at Studio 3 Marketing), the Hambino Foundation believes that providing direct services is more impactful than just cutting checks. Some of the actions we plan to undertake to boost youth sports programs include:

Building baseball fields in vacant lots

Organizing and participating in community events

Providing sports equipment

Issuing grants to vetted organizations

Building sports infrastructure on a local level

The Hambino Foundation is a little different from other institutions because we talk the talk and walk the walk. The Hambino Foundation will concentrate on communities in Los Angeles in Austin before expanding nationwide.
