Sports matter because… ❤️

It’s about more than the sports itself.

Coach Sammy reminds us what can happen when young athletes have someone who believes in them and pushes them to reach their potential.

This is why we RISE 💪

Something to look forward to. Something to work toward. ❤️

WHY SPORTS MATTER | Sammy Meany 📣

From college athlete to coach, Sammy Meany has experienced firsthand how sports can shape who we become long after competition ends.

After finishing her collegiate cheerleading career at Campbell University, Sammy took the lessons she learned as an athlete and turned them into an opportunity to pour into the next generation through Carolina Thunder All Star Cheerleading.

For Sammy, coaching is about more than developing athletes.

It’s about helping young people recognize their value, believe in themselves, push beyond what they thought they were capable of, and develop skills they can carry with them for the rest of their lives.

One line from Sammy says it best:

“A simple ‘I believe in you’ can go a very long way when they are not believing in themselves.”

This is Why Sports Matter. ❤️

Thank you, Sammy, for sharing your story and for continuing to invest in the next generation of athletes.

Sometimes it’s about creating an experience they’ll always remember. 🏈💜💛

We were grateful to connect with Coach Xzavier Bullock Sr. and learn more about the Farmville Middle School Football program. Yesterday, that connection turned into an opportunity for RISE to bring a group of local middle and high school athletes, along with two coaches, to the ECU football game for an unforgettable game day experience!

A huge thank you to ECU Football for the hospitality and for giving these young athletes the opportunity to experience the field and game day up close, ECUAthletics for generously providing the tickets that made it possible & Opendoor Church for the parking passes!

Sometimes we forget that young athletes growing up right here in our community don’t always have the opportunity to experience an ECU game in person.

It’s more than a ticket to a game. It’s an opportunity to see what’s possible. ❤️🙌

They might not know Coach Ava’s favorite color… but they know the impact she makes.

Every kid deserves the opportunity to play, grow, and find confidence through sports.

We’re back with Run Your City Greenville NC ! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🙌

Week 1 of the Fall season is officially underway, and we’re excited to be back supporting these young athletes!

RISE Through Sports was happy to provide hydration and nutrition for roughly 65 athletes who showed up ready to work. Including water, oranges, bananas, and Gatorade.

There’s nothing better than seeing our community come together to get kids moving, build confidence, and create positive experiences through sports.

Great start to the season, RYCG! We’re excited for the weeks ahead. 💪

⏰ FINAL 24 HOURS! 🏴‍☠️🏈

There’s still time to enter for a chance to win 4 ECU Football tickets but we also wanted to show you what your support makes possible. 💜

The pictures in this post represent just a few of the youth, events, partnerships, and opportunities our community has helped RISE Through Sports support.

This is what you’re supporting.

Every raffle entry helps us continue removing financial barriers that can keep youth from participating in sports. Whether that means equipment, registration fees, nutrition, events, or simply helping create an opportunity for a young athlete to get involved.

And tomorrow, one of our supporters is going to win FOUR tickets to an eligible ECU home football game! 🏈

🏴‍☠️ $5 = 1 entry
🏴‍☠️ $20 = 5 entries
🏴‍☠️ $50 = 20 entries

⏰ Entries close September 15 at 10 PM!

🎟️ ENTER THROUGH FLYER OR LINK IN COMMENTS

If you’ve already entered, thank you! One last share with your friends, family, coworkers, or favorite Pirate fan would mean a lot to us.

Help us finish strong so we can keep saying YES to more local youth. 💜💛

Remove Barriers. Invest in Youth. Strengthen Community.
