Fight For Children

Our Mission: Fight For Children helps individuals, organizations and communities harness the power of sports for positive and productive social change. Our Values: At Fight For Children, we believe that in order to achieve our mission, we must: - Fight for equitable opportunities, empowering and inspiring young people to reach their full potential. - Operate with the swiftness of a small, aligned and powerful team that is unafraid to tackle big issues. - Approach challenges differently and discover creative solutions that drive change. - Openly share our purpose and rally the community to help shape the future of Washington, DC. History Fight For Children was created three decades ago when our founder Joseph E. Robert, Jr. combined his entrepreneurial spirit and business expertise with a commitment to improve children’s lives in Washington, DC. Since that day, Fight For Children has continued to rally leaders in DC’s business, education, government, and philanthropic communities, generating more than $70 million in support of DC’s youngest and most vulnerable residents. Today, Fight For Children is harnessing the collective power of youth sports for social good. Together, The Fight For Children Institute, Fight For Children Sports Medicine Center and The Fight For Children Honors embody the mission, vision and values of Fight For Children.
