WCCO: New Non-Profit Plans To Help Kids Out With Sport Fees

2/18/2015

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) - A new Twin Cities non-profit aims to help more students get involved in sports, despite any financial obstacles.

The InSports Foundation was the brainchild of a college student from Moorhead.

The foundation’s executive director, Tony Scheuerman, said he wants to help lighten the financial load for families.

A WCCO-TV report found parents are spending as much as $10,000 dollars per year at the top levels of sports like figure skating, gymnastics and dance.

Some less expensive traveling sports like basketball, baseball and softball cost parents between $500 and $1,000 dollars per season.

But Scheuerman said even the cost of school-sponsored activities or parks and recreation leagues can be a lot to maintain.

“Nowadays, you have to pay between $150 to $200 dollars just to participate,” he said.

Through its own fundraising efforts, InSports wants to help 10,000 kids in the next three years.

First, the foundation aims to help kids with the money needed to get a foot in the game, to participate and, eventually, to become more competitive.

“We want to help during school and after-school with things like summer camps and sports camps,” he said.

Scheuerman said he has not actually given away any scholarships because no one has applied yet, but he hopes that will change.

InSports Foundation will have a booth at the Minnesota Golf Show this weekend at the Minneapolis Convention Center for anyone interested in learning about the cause or applying for a scholarship.

Scholarship applicants are required to submit a one- to two-page essay and obtain a letter of recommendation from a coach, teacher or mentor.

Blair was also known for his special teams play, as he is 3rd in the NFL with 20 blocked kicks. Blairs career lasted 11 years (1974-1985) with two super bowl appearances (1974, 1976).

Concordia College Athlete a Candidate for National Award

Moorhead, MN (WDAY TV) - What an honor for a Concordia College athlete who has an outstanding record on and off the ice.
Max Smith is a hockey player and golfer who founded the "In-Sports Foundation”; a nonprofit group that raises money for scholarships so under-privileged kids can attend sports camps.

He's been nominated for the 2015 Mellon Wealth Management Hockey Humanitarian Award; a national recognition of athletes in Division One and Three.

Max Smith- Concordia College Student: “It's been really rewarding to see what it does for the kids and the parents, and it's a lot of fun, too. It's a lot better than having a hockey camp for kids.”

The winner of the Mellon Humanitarian Award will be announced at the Frozen Four in Boston this April.
