WHY LIFT

My whole life has been surrounded by athletes and sports. Growing up, I played tennis, golf, volleyball, softball, field hockey, and even handball (Argentinean sport). SPORTS have been the reason why today I’m a happy mom and philanthropreneur.

After traveling around the world for 5 months with our family of 6 (1, 2, 3 and 4 year old at the time) I learned so much and I also realized that my PURPOSE in life was to GIVE to those little ones in need. After seeing the best (fancy hotels) to seeing the worst (floating villages, kids running barefoot to their homes made out of cardboard, etc), I can say that all I want is to bring BIG SMILE on their faces and LIFT them up.

 

I could write a book someday about coming to America to play golf in a full ride speaking 0 English, working 3 jobs to sustain myself so my parents wouldn’t have to sell their car or ask friends for money because things were getting harder at home, seating in the wrong class for a whole semester, telling countless no sense phrases, and the list goes on and on… l have SO many good and bad stories and met so many great people that LIFT me up me when I was down and encouraged me to always be myself and work hard for your dreams. If there is one person that inspired me to do this is my mom. She’s the most selfless, generous, courageous and kind (she helps today keeping 20+ abandoned and/or abused sweet girls safe and in need on a happy home in Dolores (my hometown) in Buenos Aires, Argentina)

 

Being a mom of 4 funny, crazy, bilingual, chaotic, and smart kids (can’t help the mom love here) is the best thing that ever happened in my life, and also bringing to life my PURPOSE of helping these fragile, vulnerable and helpless children means everything.

Because sports is our passion
Because giving back is our purpose
Because together we can be difference makers

    THE

    PROBLEM

    – Many athletes want to do more to give back but don’t know how.

    – Professional athletes have limited time to run his/her foundation, events, fundraisers, etc.

    – Most athlete advisors/managers are focus on for profit activities; philantrophic coaching is a need in the market.

    OUR

    PURPOSE

    LIFT Sports Foundation is a non-profit company created to help professional athletes with their philanthropic endeavors by energizing their personal missions.

    We do this by educating and guiding professional athletes with their charitable missions and connecting them with underserved community organizations.
