So…what CAN $100 do? ❤️ For a Quad Cities youth, it can do a lot!

🏈 It can cover a registration fee and get a kid onto the playing field. 🎵It can provide music lessons, cover an instrument rental for a semester. 🎨It can help cover an art class or the supplies needed to participate.

At HAVlife®, we help Quad Cities youth ages 10–15 overcome financial barriers to participating in athletics, music and the arts because sometimes the only thing standing between a kid and an opportunity they’d love is the cost.

And while $100 can make a difference, so can $25. So can $50. Every gift helps create opportunities for Quad Cities kids to participate, grow and discover what they love.

Hunter’s story is where HAVlife® began. His legacy is why the mission continues. ❤️

The experiences young people have through the arts, music, and athletics can shape so much of who they become. They find something they love. They build confidence. They make friendships. They learn what they’re capable of.

But for some families, the cost of participating can put those experiences out of reach.

HAVlife® exists to help change that.

Through participation scholarships, we help Quad Cities youth access opportunities in the arts, music, and athletics, carrying forward a mission inspired by Hunter Aaron Vondran and the life he lived.

For us, Preventing Lost Potential® is more than a mission. It’s a commitment to give more young people the chance to participate, grow, and discover where their own potential can take them.

And it all comes back to Hunter. ❤️
