The Sports Fund, an initiative of The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee, announces David Williams II as its advisory board chair.

The Sports Fund is a long-term solution working to prevent a range of issues facing our community's children – by helping give more kids a chance to be part of a team, and to succeed in school and in life.

“The Sports Fund helps ensure that Middle Tennessee children can become part of a team,” said Williams. “I’ve seen first-hand the way athletics can positively shape and often transform a young person’s life. Sports teach discipline and integrity, which has a far-reaching effect on a child’s growth.”

Join our team as we focus on prevention through sports.
