About BE A CHAMPION INC

Be A Champion, Inc. is a Houston-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2001 that delivers after-school, summer, sports and enrichment programs for K–12 youth. The organization was started by former University of Houston athletes and focuses on combining athletics, academic support, and nutrition to reach under-resourced children. Be A Champion operates programs across multiple Texas regions (including Houston, Dallas–Fort Worth, San Antonio and other areas), partners with schools and community centers, and runs the Champion Fuel nutrition initiative to provide meals and snacks to students in enrichment programs. In recent years the organization has continued to scale site-based programming and meal services, reporting operation of hundreds of program sites and hundreds of staff to support daily programming across the state.
