Dear Thomas, Kim, Akhil, Elizabeth, and Ruben,

Coach Zach is a Coach Across America member in Chicago, IL.  Coach Across America (CAA) is an AmeriCorps program launched by Up2Us to provide its member organizations with the support needed to train and host highly effective coaches in sports and youth development throughout the United States.

Coach Zach calls sports the glue that helped keep great relationships with his family and others. Massey says he learned great skills from sports:

“Sports taught me perseverance, how to lead, the ability to perform at a high level of commitment even when success isn’t likely, and many other huge lessons in life.”

Thanks to all of your donations, Coach Zach can continue to inspire and empower kids through sports.  Thank you all for making it possible for Zach to keep coaching kids for the next year!
