WHAT WE DO

Breaking Barriers to Youth Participation

Since its founding in 1972, CFY has been dedicated to supporting youth athletics programs and organizations with a strong emphasis on skill-building activities. Each year, we reach over 15,000 children—and that number continues to grow. Our funding efforts ensure that cost is never a barrier for children in Pinellas County to participate in the activities they love. Every dollar donated directly supports a child’s access to these opportunities.

CFY’s impact is driven by our three core focus areas:

0

Committed to youth athletic and art programs in the last decade

0

Youth served annually in Pinellas county

0

Annually in CFY postsecondary commitment to education in 2025

0

K-2 Students life saving water safety lessons in 2025

OUR MISSION

CFY elevates the Pinellas County youth through access to athletics and other skill-building programs, where children from all backgrounds can learn, play, and grow together.
