By athletes. For athletes.
A Stamford, CT student-run nonprofit making sure every athlete has what they need to be their best.
Gear. Mentorship. Opportunity.
We're a group of high school student athletes from Stamford, CT who understand how sports can change lives. And the power of community.
Athletes 4 Athletes (A4A) is a nonprofit that feels less like a charity and more like a community showing up for itself. One that brings together athletes, parents and the entire Stamford community to better support local athletes.
Whether it's a varsity player mentoring a 6th grader, or hooking someone up with a pair of cleats - athletes give what they can and receive what they need.
No questions asked. No labels attached.
Just athletes. Taking care of athletes.
Who we are
Our first (but not last) program:
Cleats 4 Athletes
We collect and donate cleats to athletes across Stamford.
All sports. All sizes. Little kids, big kids and teens.
Outgrown a pair? Pass them forward. Need a pair? Come get them.
No forms. No criteria. Just cleats.
