THE DAVID PHILIPS FOUNDATION
Welcome To
The David Phillips Foundation
The David Phillips Foundation removes barriers for children to participate in sports and fitness programs, and provides opportunities to PLAY for kids who wouldn't otherwise have access.
Our Mission
The David Phillips Foundation supports and uplifts children and their families through after-school enrichment programs that allow them to heal, grow, and play.
The David Phillips Foundation improves the lives of children and their families, strengthens neighborhood ties, and builds community, through recreation, sports, and opportunities to “play.” Further, we work to support and uplift children and families who have lost a parent, by providing resources, and making connections with additional support providers in their communities.

You're invited to join us in January 2025 for the New Year's 5K Relay & Kids' Mile! Not only is this a fun community event to enjoy with family and friends at beautiful Pease Park, but also our biggest fundraiser of the year. Proceeds from the race benefit our programs in Title-I schools, so that more kids have access to opportunities for play. See you there!
