Established in 2013 as the charitable arm of the Syracuse Silver Knights professional indoor soccer team, the Syracuse Silver Knight Foundation serves the Central New York community by creating athletic and creative educational youth programs, that strive to enrich the lives of children and provide opportunities which motivate them to live up to their potential, and help to guide them towards a positive, well-rounded future.
Why its important:
The Silver Knight Foundation helps underprivileged children get involved with sports and other physically and mentally healthy activities. This serves a real need in our (or any) community. Taking high risk children and encouraging them to better themselves and lead a healthy lifestyle rather than the alternative.
