Cultivating Lifelong Champions

Body - Mind - Spirit

The Mission of the Ward Family Foundation is to support youth character development through sports, arts, education, and wellness to benefit under-served youth and support disaster relief initiatives. The Ward Family Foundation is a public 501c3 charity rooted in Christian Values.

Help Build a Place Where Faith, Family & Future Champions Thrive

By reserving a paver at Champions Ranch, your gift brings us closer to opening day of this transformative space where youth and families flourish through sports, arts,education and wellness. Leave your legacy and make an impact that will last for generations.

As the first phase moves forward we're trusting God will work through the generosity of His people to reach the $150,000 GivingTuesday goal and the $500,000 year-end goal.

The 3rd Annual Ward Family Foundation Championship Brunch was a huge success because of your support. We hope you enjoyed Charlie’s Chalk Talk with Olympic legend Jackie Joyner-Kersee, and honoring Coach Leonard & Mrs. Claudette Hamilton with the Charlie Ward Distinguished Excellence Award and celebrating Richard & Elizabeth Albertson with the Bowden Family Legacy Award.

Together we are getting closer to breaking ground on the first field at the Charlie Ward Champions Ranch. We hope we can count on your continued support so that together we can build futures!

Your generosity helped young athletes play football, soccer, run and cheer with the proper footwear this fall!
