WHO KARES? HOLIDAYS
Keeping Athletes Responsible & Equipped for Success

Athletes who show up, on and off the field.

WHO KARES? is the athlete program of KARES Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2018 in Southern California. We partner with college student-athletes, from Norco to Howard and UNLV to Georgia, who want their name to stand for more than their stat line.

Our ambassadors and KARES KREW volunteers use their platforms to tell their stories, serve their neighbors, and bring teammates and fans along. Every video, drive and drop-off is logged as service.

This holiday season, athletes on over 20 campuses are running two drives:

KARESgiving (November): an ambassador partners with a food bank or pantry near their school to stock shelves, pre package and handout meals before Thanksgiving.
KARES Christmas (December): Ambassadors team up with local nonprofits and foster agencies to fill wish lists for kids in their college towns.

What your gift does

$25 covers holiday meal items for a family
$50 fulfills a child’s wish-list gift
$100 powers one ambassador’s full campus drive
$250 sponsors an ambassador for the whole season

Any donation denomination is greatly appreciated!

Every dollar will be backing athletes serving their communities.
