New Member: Imagine for Youth Foundation

Imagine for Youth Foundation grew out of a class project for Micah Hyde and his classmates in Professor Joseph Sulentic’s Business class at the University of Iowa.  The students were challenged to create a business plan that involved giving back to the community.

IMagINe if you were capable of helping a child discover their skills and build their confidence. IMagINe if you were able to join a cause that empowered children to live a healthier lifestyle while achieving more. IMagINe if you were the support behind a child flourishing into a promising athlete. IMagINe if you helped instill the basic fundamentals needed for a youngster to lead a more successful, promising future. IMagINe if you could simply make a child happy. It’s possible.  Together, we will do this.

Imagine for Youth Foundation believes a child’s innate curiosity and desire to play has the ability to transform into something great. But a youngster may be deterred by unfortunate circumstances, such as poverty. They want all children to have the opportunity to participate in athletics, regardless of their situation.

Imagine the potential if every child was provided access to athletic equipment and resources. It would help them discover their talents and lead a healthy, more active lifestyle while developing self-esteem, enhancing communication and building skills and a strong foundation for a successful future.

This is why….

Their mission is to ensure that youth facing financial hardships in the communities they serve have the opportunity to excel both athletically and academically by providing the necessary resources, supplies and equipment.
