One Team

Help a Teammate today to build a stronger Team for tomorrow.

Sports bring people together and connect communities. COVID-19 has put many families from our neighboring towns into difficult situations. They need help. One Team is a student run organization that recognizes the desperate situations that some of our opponents on the field are put in. We raise money to aid these families and lessen their financial devastation. Our network of coaches directs us to the families most in need. We then use the vetting and distribution process operated by our partner, Person-to-Person, an established 501(c)(3) charity, to help pay for their vital living expenses. One Team receives 0% of your donation, and Person-to-Person distributes more than 90% of all donations directly to our cause.

We want to build a sense of sportsmanship off the field and out of the pool to aid these families through the pandemic. Hopefully our help now will further our relationship with these other teams down the line and create a greater sense of community and friendship.

Help us build One Team.

Find the mark.

We utilize our connections with local high school athletic coaches to identify families most in need. Coaches then refer those families to Person-to-Person. These families are then vetted and assigned a caseworker.
