The Inspiring Children Foundation (ICF), based in Las Vegas, Nevada, is deeply grateful
to United Movement of Kindness (UMOK) for their generous donation of 150 tennis
rackets. ICF is a non-profit organization dedicated to transforming the lives of at-risk
youth by providing mental health resources, life skills, and access to enriching programs
like tennis.
Location: Las Vegas, NV
Lives Impacted by your donation: 40+
Impact of UMOK's Donation
The 150 tennis rackets from UMOK have significantly enhanced ICF’s tennis program,
which serves as both a physical activity and a therapeutic tool for our youth. The
donation enabled:
● Increased Participation: 100% of interested youth could participate in our
community tennis clinic without financial barriers. We hold free tennis clinics
every weekend which we extend an open invite to all youth in the Las Vegas area.
Thanks to this racket donation we can provide children who cannot afford lessons
or supplies, a chance to play tennis.
● Skill Development: Students learned resilience, focus, and discipline through
structured coaching sessions.
● Community Engagement: The program has so far seen a 30% rise in new
participants, many of whom were introduced to tennis for the first time.
● Mental Health Benefits: Physical activity, such as tennis, plays a critical role
in alleviating stress and improving mental health—a cornerstone of ICF’s
mission.
Future Impact:
ICF has fostered meaningful relationships with local high schools such as Robert O.
Gibson Leadership Academy and Western High School. These partnerships aim to
expand access to tennis resources and inspire youth through sport.
Robert O. Gibson graciously provided access to their courts for ICF tournaments and
programming. In gratitude, ICF is committed to giving back by supporting the
development of their tennis program and raising awareness about tennis within the
community. Initiatives include donating tennis rackets and exploring additional ways to
nurture a lasting impact on youth participation in the sport.
"Thanks to UMOK's kindness, more young lives in Las Vegas have been uplifted through
the power of sports. Together, we are creating a future filled with hope, resilience, and
opportunity for at-risk youth. Thank you for making a difference!"
