Back for Year Two!

For the second year in a row, we were proud to sponsor two local young athletes to attend the annual Thomas College DAWG Intensity Basketball Camp! 🙌

🏀 Benjamin and Grayson of Waterville Junior High School, we hope you had an awesome camp and look forward to your future success in Waterville basketball!

We love working with Thomas College and the Thomas College Men’s Basketball program to help young athletes experience opportunities like this right here in their community.

At MYSOF, our mission is simple: help remove financial barriers so Maine kids can participate, compete, learn, and grow through sports. Seeing partnerships like this continue for a second year is exactly what that mission is all about.

And a big thank you to Thomas College Men's Basketball Program and Thomas College for helping us create more opportunities for Maine kids.

Meet Bailey! 👋

This young softball star recently lost all of her softball gear and even worse, her home, in a house fire. Fortunately, we were able to help her and her family out when they reached out to us for assistance with equipping her for the upcoming softball season with a new helmet, cleats and softball socks. 🙌

Good luck, Bailey! We know you’ll have an amazing season! 💪

We love helping Maine’s young athletes and their families. If you know a family in need of financial assistance to help their child participate in a sport that they love, please point them in our direction. We’ll do whatever we can to help!

We are incredibly humbled and deeply grateful to share that we have received an influx of donations over the past couple weeks in memory of Thomas “Toma” Daniels Sr.—a man whose life and values reflected the very mission we strive to carry forward every day.

Toma was deeply involved in youth sports in his community, coaching kids and helping upgrade and maintain the sports fields. To him, sports were about more than the game—they teach lessons, build character, and develop the life skills that shape who kids become. He believed every kid deserved a chance to play.

That belief is exactly why we founded the Maine Youth Sports Opportunity Fund.

To Toma’s family and friends—thank you.

Please know your generosity will directly help young athletes across Maine access the joy, growth, and opportunity that come with participating in sports.

Our hearts are with the Daniels family. 💙
