HISTORY
We W.I.L.L. Thru Sports was founded in 2010 by Henry Perez, a native New Yorker. Having experienced many vulnerabilities in his early life, Henry would not be who he is today without sports. He created We W.I.L.L. Thru Sports to give young people safe, healthy opportunities to grow, stay engaged, and build lifelong positive habits.
We believe that every kid has the right to enjoy sports, yet the reality is that not everyone can afford it. Our mission is to bridge this gap by helping as many kids as possible gain access to sports — opening doors to growth, opportunity, and a brighter future.
A VISION FOR THE FUTURE
We W.I.L.L. Thru Sports is known as a premier sports organization improving the lives of young people by providing the highest quality sports programs that foster healthy lifestyles, self-confidence, and empowerment.
A MISSION FOR TODAY
We W.I.L.L. Thru Sports is a non-profit athletic organization providing high-quality affordable programs for youths in collaboration with our community-based partners throughout the Greater New York Metropolitan area.
WHAT WE VALUE
We value the creation of a diverse family culture that respects the beliefs, opinions, and contributions of our youth, their families, colleagues, and partnering organizations. We are committed to offering the highest quality of sports.
