January 30, 2024--The founders and trustees of HelpKidsPlaySports.org, Inc (HKPS) have announced that they are looking for new volunteers to act as trustees of HKPS to navigate the public charity for future years. While our donation page will still accept donations, we are currently on hiatus as we look for a passionate individual to guide HKPS in the future. Any donations made after 1/30/24 will be held until future trustees are positioned. For over 10 years (2013-2024), HKPS has raised and donated over $50,000 to help local children participate in sports. If you are passionate about helping under funded kids play sports and are interested in guiding HKPS in future years, please email us at [email protected] 

We thank all whom have supported our cause helping hundreds upon hundreds of local kids kids stay in the game.

A donation of $1,000 was made by HKPS to CHB Basketball (www.chball.com) in memory of Mark Daniel Adamczyk (pictured bottom right). Since Mark was passionate about sports (in particular basketball & golf), his family requested that donations be made to HKPS in lieu of flowers after his passing in December of 2022. This is the first of three donations in his honor. Mark had a life-long passion for basketball and it is fitting that this initial donation help local underfunded kids cover basketball league fees for deserving young athletes who might otherwise not be able to afford the cost.
