WHAT WE DO

Breaking Barriers to Youth Participation

Since 1972, CFY has been dedicated to supporting youth athletics, educational scholarships, and youth development programs. Each year, we serve more than 17,000 children across Pinellas County, ensuring cost is never a barrier to participation. Every dollar donated helps provide access to athletic grants, educational opportunities, and life-changing experiences for local youth.

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