About Teammates for Kids Foundation
Quite simply, Teammates for Kids exists to do everything we can to help kids — partnering professional athletes, corporations, celebrities and individuals to support pediatric patients and their families. Because the foundation’s overhead expenses are privately funded, 100% of all money donated goes to the kids.

About Teammates for Kids Foundation
Teammates for Kids Foundation puts pediatric patients at the center of its grantmaking, with a visible pattern of funding child life zones, hospital-based therapeutic play spaces, and youth sports access. One of the clearest examples is a 2025 grant of $940,558 to Chicago Scenic Studios for exhibit construction for Child Life Zones, showing that the foundation funds built environments as well as direct program support. In the same year, it gave $923,213 to Phoenix Children’s Hospital for health and $750,214 to Children’s Hospital Foundation in Richmond for health, underscoring a hospital-centered portfolio. The foundation also supports youth sports and recreation through organizations such as ProCamps Inc., which received $203,039 in 2023 for payments for youth to attend sports camps, and Pastime Youth Academies, which received $290,390 in 2023 for inner city programming. Alongside those grant types, the foundation funds audiovisual installations, furniture, supplies, and design development for pediatric spaces, indicating a mix of capital, equipment, and program support. Its stated mission is to help kids by partnering with athletes, corporations, celebrities, and individuals, while privately funding overhead so donated money goes to children.
