WHO WE ARE
Save By Faith Children Foundation was founded in 2009 by Kevin Smith with a vision to create a better future for Chicago’s at-risk youth through sports and mentorship programs.

It is our mission to use our programs to teach youth some of the skills necessary to be successful in life, such as good sportsmanship, loyalty, courage, honesty, integrity and self-belief. It is our overarching goal to foster personal excellence in athletics and in life. We are founded on principles of truth and dedicated to helping each person reach his or her individual potential by encouraging a belief in personal responsibility, instilling habits of hard work, and demonstrating passionate commitment to excellence. We teach the value of knowledge and character.
Recognizing the needs that exist in our community, Save By Faith Children Foundation provides a competitive sports leagues for youth ages 13 through 18 with supplemental mentoring and educational/career-focused programs as well.

What They say
I’ve always wanted to give back to the community, and Save By Faith Children Foundation gave me the perfect opportunity. The dedication of the team and the resilience of the children inspire me every single day. Being part of this mission has not only allowed me to help others but has also enriched my life in ways I never imagined.
I’ve been volunteering for over a year, and every moment has been rewarding. The foundation provides resources and opportunities that transform children’s lives, and I’m grateful to play a small part in that journey. The bonds I’ve formed with the kids and other volunteers are something I’ll cherish forever.
