Inspiring youth athletes…transforming lives.

The Bob Emig Foundation provides opportunities for youth to enjoy the benefits of a healthy youth sports experience. We encourage and engage the youth sports community through education on the benefits of youth sports in the areas of health, life skills development and fun. We encourage "going beyond the game" to allow for a learning life experience.

• Provide opportunities for participation in sports to youth, especially to those who may not otherwise have the opportunity to do so without the help of the BEF and who want to experience the benefits of the youth sports experience
• Educate youth on the benefits of participation in sports including:
  • Healthier life style/fitness
  • Life skills: team work, sportsmanship, sense of pride and accomplishment, confidence, self-esteem, responsibility, discipline, focus
• Recognize and honor leaders, mentors and role models(youth, coaches, parents and officials)
• Support education/mentoring programs for coaches, youth and parents
