Sports Backers invests in the future of active living in our region through our youth programs such as Kids On The Move and Active Living Leadership ALL Stars. From the youngest kids getting an opportunity to be a part of a run club, reaping the socio-emotional benefits while moving more, to those on their way to adulthood and applying to college, Sports Backers is passionate about supporting Richmond region youth.
