The Matt Boczar Foundation

The Matt Boczar Foundation The Matt Boczar Foundation's mission is to make a difference in young athletes lives by covering the costs of Clarkston athlete’s pay-to-participate fees.

In 2016 The Clarkston Player’s Association was founded with the mission of funding Pay-to Participate fees for football players at Clarkston High School in Clarkston, Michigan. The founding members were on Clarkston’s two-time State Championship Football team and knew first hand the

positive effects of athletic participation including improved health, grades, social connections and self-esteem, and hoped to have future young athletes benefit from these same effects. In March 2020, after the sudden passing of founding member Matt Boczar, the board resolved to change the name to The Matt Boczar Foundation, carrying on his selfless spirit of helping those in need. The mission was also expanded at that time to give funding assistance to any athlete in the Clarkston community, regardless of gender or sport played. With the help of physical education teachers and coaches, we have given multiple athletes, both male and female, at all different grade levels, the opportunity to participate in flag football, football, golf, baseball, dance, cross country, wrestling and hockey when they otherwise would not have the means to do so. We have also recently partnered with Clarkston Area Youth Assistance (CAYA) for additional help in identifying athletes that are in the greatest need of receiving funding from us. We look forward to many years of growth and giving support to young athletes in the Clarkston Community. If you are interested in donating, partnering or volunteering with us, please contact us at [email protected].
