THE REEBOK SERIES, THE KIDS AND FAMILIES IN NEED FOUNDATION, AND ISAIAH’S FOUNDATION

Our Mission

Isaiah’s Foundation and Kids and Families in Need are dedicated to helping families from St. Louis, St. Charles counties and Denver, Colorado. We offer assistance to those who are experiencing social, emotional, and economic challenges. We also offer the opportunity to play organized sports and we give referrals to training and social services.  We are committed to offering assistance whenever families need us, wherever they may live and whatever they may be experiencing. We are now working together to assist Veterans.

Our Vision

Our vision is to empower our youth and our families through our growing programs and networks. We strive to empower our community by creating quality human experiences with multiple events and activities.

Our Action

Basketball is our fuel.  We not only raise money to support our programs with our very organized basketball tournaments, we keep hundreds of kids every weekend off the internet, off the play station and off the street by running weekend long events.  We also keep families together by providing low cost events.   It’s all about keeping kids busy and families together.  We cannot do this without gyms.  We need gyms.

The Reebok Series and Kids and Families In Need 

Kids and Families In Need provides Christmas gifts for families, school supplies for kids, and scholarships for basketball tournaments and summer camps. This is all possible because of the revenue we generate from our very well organized basketball events. We offer the best and largest tournaments in St. Louis. For over 13 years, our tournaments have offered teams of all ages the best opportunity to play basketball.

Over the last 13 years Kids and Families In Need has worked to help over 20,000 kids and 1,000 families in their time of need in the St. Louis area. Outstanding results and word of mouth have proven to be key ingredients for the growth of Kids and Families In Need. Each year over 15,000 youth and over 3,000 teams from all over the US participate in the REEBOK BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT SERIES.
