In 2023, we launched Points 2 Success, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to helping minority youth athletes and their families navigate the challenges of pursuing athletic excellence in underrepresented sports. Our mission is to equip young athletes with the knowledge, support, and guidance needed to develop into college-level competitors.

Each year, our impact grows as we expand our programming and create meaningful opportunities for youth. In which you will see upon viewing our Annual video . We are truly grateful for the partnerships, donors, and grants that make this work possible.

Many employers offer matching gifts through corporate giving platforms such as Guidestar and Benevity, allowing your donation to go even further!

As we close out the year, we invite you to support our “Giving Projects” and fuel our momentum as we push toward an even stronger 2026.

Thank you for helping us continue!

Points 2 Success was awarded a 2025 Summer Youth Grant from the City of Columbus, enabling us to deliver our Health 4 Wealth programming. With each endeavor all we can do is try to close the gap on at-risk youth and what they are learning to make a positive impact on their lives.

This program would not have been possible without being one of the 101 Grant Recipients. We are thankful for this opportunity from the City of Columbus, and Mayor Andrew Ginther.

We look forward to working with you all again!

Yesterday we held our annual “Kicks4Kids” programming. Athletes came from all over the city to work up a sweat. We were fortunate to have Get Sharp Soccer and DMEFitness work with the youth. Thank you Hamilton County, Ohio - Government for your support on this grant to allow such an impactful program!

We started this journey back in February when we applied for the City of Columbus Summer Grant. In April we received notification that Points 2 Success was awarded this grant for summer youth programming. Countless hours were spent to form Health 4 Wealth. I can’t thank everyone on our team enough that has helped, instructed, provided content and support for this program. I also used this time to implement Kellen in so many pieces of the business. Not only for P2S but for him to build his resume for whatever life has in store. A lot of long days and early mornings on the road but we made it! Today for our capstone we visited Legoland Discovery and had a blast.

Took some time to watch Payton Porter, a recipient of our David Allen Jackson Jr. Memorial Scholarship who plays for Kings Hammer RL G09 (ECRL League). Great match that ended in a 2-1 win. Payton closed the match out with the game winner!
