FUNDaFIELD is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, started by Kyle Weiss and his brother in 2006. Student-run FUNDaFIELD is dedicated to enriching the lives of less fortunate kids in the developing world through sports. FUNDaFIELD utilizes the therapeutic power of sports to support the rehabilitation and recovery process in post-conflict and post-trauma regions around the world. The team works with local communities to provide soccer fields, soccer equipment and to host soccer tournaments. School enrollment and attendance have both increased in the schools at which FUNDaFIELD builds fields.
Toy Box of Hope was founded by Ryan Potter, star of Nickelodeon’s Supah Ninjas, to address the ever growing problem of youth homelessness in Los Angeles. Moved by the number of families he saw living on the streets of Los Angeles, Potter created Toy Box with the mission to bring children hope through simple positive acts of kindness, as well as increase awareness of and raise funds for organizations which are on the frontlines of positive change in the challenging field of youth homelessness.
